RE: Is COAX to every room really necessary



> Lounge: 3x coax to each corner, plus 3 coax at an additional point.
          ^^
and I thought I was OTT with 2 in each corner :)

> Dining room: 1 point with 1 coax, 1 point with 2

I could have had 1 x in each place as I only want to feed TV and FM which
can co-exist on the same bit of wire.
I just didn't like the idea of mixing the signals un-necessarily, so went
for 2 x run to every socket.
Not actually using _any_ of the FM points due to Tuner being in node 0
taking feed direct from aerial, but again, nice to know it's there _just in
case_.

Until you tell him _how many_ points you put in, when he starts to edge away
slowly... :)

My reasoning also.  Would not put in 1/2 as many points if I wasn't doing
all the other work at the same time....
