[QUOTE="KillingTime, post: 398223, member: 258557"] Hi,New to the forum, but hoping someone can help with a new satellite setup I have planned for my house. I've just had the floorboards up in my house and laid plenty of cable for satellite sockets on the walls of most rooms. Some of the larger rooms have two satellite sockets at either end (triplexed), so if I decide to change the position of the TV & receiver, I wont have long cable runs down the length of the room. I have 12 wall sockets in total. I do not plan on having all 12 connected at once. I just want the flexibility to be able to site the sat receiver(s) wherever. I was hoping to use the labgear HDU681 to mix my satellite / fm / dab / & cctv down one cable, and then split them at the wall using triplex plates.The only problem is, the HDU681, only has 8 (9?) outputs. I'm sure labgear used to make a model that has 12 outputs, but I can't find it listed anywhere. The only option I can think of, is to use uhf passive splitters on some of the labgear outputs, enabling me to connect two wall plates to one HDU681 output. I think I read somewhere that if you only use one output of a splitter, without terminating the unused output, then you get reflected singnals bouncing back to the splitter that bleeds through to the other (connected output).Is this correct? Will I have to terminate the unused wall plate to stop it interferring with the connected wall plate? How would I do this? Or are there splitteres that can be bought with do not have this problem? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
