Will wall connection be correct?

sessa — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 13:38:22 GMT

I am renovating a house that will need rewiring - they are going to put a double co axial socket and a single Cat 6 socket/connection where I intend to put the tv etc - will the double co axial be the connection(s) Ill need for plugging in my Sky HD box?They'll run the cable to the attic & leave it there for when dish is set up.

Is there something else I should be asking for or setting up in advance?

Thank you

Why are you not asking the people who will be doing the job?

You should be telling the exactly what is needed!

@sessa

A Sky engineer won't go up into the loft/attic if that's what you're implying.

For the dish connections? No. You need satellite connections - see the image. But as noted, a Sky engineer won't go into the loft to connect the cables to your dish. You may need an independent satellite installer to do it for you.
