Installing Coax, Sky Cables and TV Booster

[atm-12]

Hi, I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction to learning a bit more about installing Coax and Sky cables and the arrangement from the sky dish, antenna, booster and TV points. I have installed this plenty of times but have always been told what cable goes where and then a TV specialist will connect everything in the second fix. I just want to get my head around it a bit more, maybe a good website or any books and diagrams. I have tried searching google but not exactly sure what to search for.

- sky dish typically uses shotgun coax cable
- you can use a faceplate like this (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dual-Socket-Faceplate-Satellite-Outlets/dp/B003OST2HC) for the tv point.
- the sky dish need a satellite meter to get it correctly aligned (or you can use the sky box and check the signal bar until it works, but this could take time)
