[QUOTE="satelliteman, post: 521329, member: 255812"] [I]Also just to add to above, and this might not be the best thread to discuss this but.... [/I] As part of [B]BS EN 60728:11 2005[/B] : it says that anything more than a Sky Plus and aerial at points to rooms really needs earthing or making electrically safe in some other way. This is electrical safety for 'Cabled distribution systems for television, sound and interactive multimedia signals'. Part of BS EN 50083/60728 Series. ----- This has to be done on commercial systems as standard ! and as we are now seeing more and more complexed domestic systems out there around the home, earthing procedures have to be considered. May sound daunting but is very simple. Most switches come with earth bars attached to them anyway. You just need to earth all input and output cables to the main earth via a minimum of 4mm earth cable back to the PE (primary earth). An electrician can do this job without too many problems. Not needed for a simple IF set up but given your wiring diagram and the complexity of it, consider the above for safety. :D Mods: (Wonder if a small sticky could be written explaining the basics of the above for info purposes only???)
