Hi guys

I installed a co-ax feed (Ct100) from my Sky+ box up the side of the house
into the loft where it connects to the existing aerial cable (male -
female cheap connector) which goes to my bedroom faceplate. The picture
on the TV was not good, wavy scrolling lines most of the time. This was
only a temporary measure until we decorated our bedroom so I lived with
the bad picture quality. Well, I am now in the middle of the decorating
and my mind is turning to the TV issue. We have a small 19" LCD which I
am going to hang on the wall opposite the bed. I am thinking of running
the co-ax in a single run without any joints from the sky box into the
back to the TV. I'm guessing this would give me the best / cleanest
picture. Or should I add a decent faceplate behind where the TV will be
located and then connect another co-ax cable between the new faceplate and
the TV?

Most of the FAQ on the web regarding Sky Link suggests no connections in
the co-ax between the Sky box and the TV.

What is the experts opinion on this?

Could anyone recommend any good quality faceplates and co-ax connectors
please.

Thanks



There's no problem with using faceplates if you want to, but in your case
there doesn't seem to be any point. Just have the new cable coming out of
the wall behind the LCD and you won't see it.
