No doubt you have answered this type of question many times before but I've already checked out a few of he answers and none of them seem to fit my query (worryingly!).
We were flooded last year and currently have the cable from our satellite dish running externally to the caravan we are living in. We are due to move back into the house soon and need the new sockets that the builder has put in place connecting up. The set up is as follows;
Ariel on roof with tv cable running down front of house to socket in lounge already connected. Three new tv sockets which we had put in each bedroom when we had rewire prior to flooding which are coiled in loft with booster awaiting connection to ariel. Two new tv points in lounge which are wired under the floor to the point where the existing tv cable came in and coiled externally.
Existing telephone extension socket in main bedroom which runs to external main phone point fed by telegraph pole. Two new telephone sockets in lounge wired under the floor to where the main tv point enters the house in the hallway and coiled internally.
Three new satellite sockets, 2 in lounge, 1 in kitchen which are wired under the floor to the point in lounge where the old satellite cable came in and coiled externally.
One set of tv/phone/satellite sockets in the lounge are basically just in case of future furniture move arounds and apart from the phone socket are unlikely to be used once we have fitted the furniture in.
Does this sound as though everything is in place where it should be ready to be connected up or should it be routed differently? We are concerned because we are having laminate flooring laid next week so it will be difficult to move cables after this. It has been suggested that we may need a satellite booster. Can this be fitted externally or where should it go? Will we need a new ariel on the roof? Any ideas of how much this should all cost pease?
