need to install 3 sky points in a house

[charlalberts]

HI,

I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on installing 3 sky points in a domestic house.

Would i just need to run shotgun cable from the main sky point to the 3 individual rooms that need the points?

Any help would be most appreciated

Shotgun cable from dish to each point wold be required for Sky+.

You can run a single satellite cable for standard sky / satalite boxes. The dish will need to have an LNB with enought outlets for each cable.

As above ^^^^

The tuning process for a channel frequency involves frequency switching the LNB band (hi/lo). So you need an outlet for each box direct from the LNB. As said two outlets at each point if it's sky+

Although it depends whether the OP means that there is going to be a sky box at each point or whether he is just distributing the sky signal from a single box.

It does. But then they'd be RF TV points not SKY

True. But can a 'Sky Point' not equally serve a Freesat box? Making it a 'Freesat Point'.

With emphasis on SAT, yes. But not freeview.
