The builders have advised that while the Sky Engineer will not rummage around in the loft, if we make the existing cabling available for easy access by the loft hatch, they will be able to do whatever they need to do from the top of a ladder so that we can get Sky piped around the sockets throughout the house.

My question is, do I need to do or specify anything to the engineer to make sure this happens? Secondly, we don't currently have telephone or internet as we are waiting on Sky for the install at the end of the month. We've already had mails stating we must have a telephone line to complete the Sky TV install, but is this actually correct?

GTunney Well-known Member. What type of sockets and cabling is in place? My new build only had sockets for normal tv aerial and not The F type connection required for sky. How many rooms are going to require sky? Will they all require HD and recording features? If memory serves me right the sky dish will only serve 4 cables and each box requires 2 for HD so you may also need a splitter. We just want to be able to watch whatever is on the main box in the other rooms, using a magic eye to control it.

HD only required in the lounge, other rooms it doesn't really matter. The builders have specifically stated that the wiring is set up to support sky installs so I can only assume it's the correct connection type. If you can take a picture of the socket and post it up I'll be able to let you know better. If so it on,y needs some f-type plugs and connectors to link the dish feeds, not the cabling feeding the sockets in the lounge although it begs the question as to why the builder did not sort this already.

If there is no dish and no dish cabling already in place then Sky will not run the cabling this way as they will not access your loft space. You can either put the cabling in place yourself or get a local aerial company to fit the dish and cabling day for your Sky installation. There isn't a dish, just three sets of cabling all terminated in the loft, just some loose bits of cable wrapped round one of the rafters at the moment.

The builders have specifically stated on several occasions that all Sky need to do is hook the loose cabling up to the dish they install from the top of a ladder going into the loft, and that they will not need to go up into the loft themselves. To be honest I'm already assuming this isn't the case, in which case we'll just get a separate aerial install feeding the cables currently in the loft, which will then lead me to try and work out how I'm going to get power up there.

The builders are talking out of their backside. It is considered bad practice in satellite installations to have joins in the cabling as besides having a possible signal loss at a joint they can cause "reflection" of signals at any joint which can lead to loss of a particular range of frequencies. It is OK to join UHF terrestrial aerial cabling in this way however as it it is a completely different frequency band.

Why did the builders not do the job properly and install cabling in one run direct from probable dish site to the required rooms. Last edited by a moderator: Sep 12, Did you mean:.
