Putting a FTA box in the kitchen for Freesat.

[Tony1A]

HI ALL!

Well, I thought it was time to do this! We can watch Freesat in my small studio, the bedroom and Sky in the living room - except the kitchen. I will be using my old Triax TD64 and a Medion low-powered box (less than 2 watts in standby - 8 watts in use). The fact was brought home to me about a fortnight ago when we were watching a movie on the Horror channel and with it being teatime, had to miss a small part of the movie to prepare food - disappointing! So I decided things had to change and I have just being putting a 3-4 metre length of old RG58 cable in so that when the time comes I can pull the WF100 (my cable of choice) through the air-brick. I fixed the dish up but it's not aligned yet. Looking forward to getting this up and running - about bloody time I did this!

Excellent: Do let us know how the Movie ends.

Sounds like something a wife might say.

When you clip the cable up, make sure it isn't a Hammer Horror.....



that's twice today I've had to fetch my coat....

This has nothing to do with my missus! It's something I have planning to do for a while and the other week kind of swung it for me. So it spurred me into action. Pete! The good thing about this is I won't have to use ANY cable clips as the cable will be run across the top of the kitchen cabinets. Outside, the dish is close to the cable entry point I can tape the cable to the drain pipe. Simples!
