[QUOTE="craigsat, post: 1138009, member: 418072"] Hi, first post here and first time DIY installer. I have recently done a DIY re-wire of my entire large home and I have installed 2 x CAT6A and 1xCoax (Webro WF100 cable) to all 8 rooms in the house (big horrible job as its solid walls and needed lots of walls chased!) All of these runs go back to a central 'comms' cupboard. I have mounted a single terrestrial aerial on our roof and cabled it back to the comms cupboard, too (using Webro WF100 cable again). I need a distribution device which is capable of splitting my terrestrial signal into 8 ways and providing amplification. I expect that I will also add a satellite dish with quad LNB soon. My thinking was that I was going to buy a terrestrial distribution amplifier (like the Vision EV5-110A) to do the 8-way terrestrial distribution and then, in the future, I could add something like a Vision EV5-D2S (2-way DSCR) if I wanted to add Sky Q to a couple of the rooms. I am now, however, wondering if I am best to plan ahead, skip the terrestrial distribution amplifier and just buy an 8-way dSCR multiswitch (such as a Vision EV5-D8S or a Triax TdSCR 508) - which would let me run Sky or Terrestrial to any and all of my 8 rooms. Questions: 1. How would the Vision EV5-D8S or Triax TdSCR 508 multiswitches 'work' if, in the short term, ahead of installing my satellite dish, I only had the terrestrial input connected? Would these basically operate as an 8-way terrestrial distribution amplifier? 2. As a follow-on to question #1, would all 8 rooms need to be upgraded to have a triplexer faceplate? If, for example, I had a room using a single faceplate (no triplexer) and I plugged in a terrestrial TV, would the TV be able to tune into tune into the terrestrial signal or does it need to go through a triplexer first? 3. Any comments on the Vision EV5-D8S or Triax TdSCR 508 multiswitches? Is one better than the other? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
