Hi guys,
Need some advice on my tv aerial setup in the new house.
I'll be doing this all by myself but need some advice.
Living room has no tv aerial socket so I need to patch it down to there somehow, I have a loft aerial and this only feeds into the tv aerial socket in the main bedroom. I believe I have 2 options:
1. From the main bedroom, split the connection there and run the extra connection out the window (use to be a satelite cable hole) down to the ground and back into the house (living room) then just cable tidy it around the door and back into the TV
2. Split the cable at the aerial in the loft, leave the bedroom one as it is but run the extra cable somehow out the roof down to the ground and into the house (living room) and cable tidy it around the door to the TV.
I know both will need to power the cables, in the loft theres no 3 PIN socket to use and I'm not sure where to patch an extra power socket.
The bedroom method there is a spare 3 PIN socket so can power it from there.
Now I need advice on which method is better in terms of getting best reception with minimal hassle? I also need to know what cable I should get, DB gain thingy and possible a new loft aerial. I have a DVT signal checker so I can see if the current loft aerial is any good (not fiddled with it yet it) but initial test shows only 1 green light out of 5. The area can recieve all freeview channels.
Please advise!
