Hi I am about to have a loft aerial fitted in my loft, via BT, as I did not realise that BT requires one for its BT TV service to get normal / freeview channels.
The house is only four years old and every room has a tv point fitted and the tv cables all meet in the loft, but are currently not connected to anything, hence the impending loft aerial install....
At some point I would like to install a splitter or tv amp in the loft to provide tv to the other rooms.
My understanding is that they would require mains power, I do have two lights on a separate fused / switched circuit in the loft, but no power sockets / outlets in the loft.
From a little bit of Googling the tv amps all appear to be low voltage (eg: 12v 3A) but I assume that they will still require a proper plu socket and should not be run off the existing loft lighting circuit?
There is a double socket in an airing cupboard on the first floor landing, so I assume it would be fairly easy to run a cable from the airing cupboard socket, up inside the airing cupboard into the loft above and then install another socket in the loft?
Cheers for any info.
