Cable Points

[lego 0]

Need some advice on what is the proper way of installing cable points to every bedroom.

If you engaged private electrician, does he pull a line in from mainbox outside of flat to install a point at your living room, and from the living room, splits to bedroom 1, bedroom 1 splits to bedroom 2, bedroom 2 splits to bedroom 3?

If you engaged StarHub, do they do the same as above? Or they pull in 4 separate lines from mainbox outside of flat? I called starhub up and spoke to the technical guy. He said for additional cable point he would pull in a new line; no splitting. And strictly no drilling or hacking; just trunking all the way. Duh, not sure how he could reach my bedroom if its just running trunking

helpdesk personnel all talk doesnt use their brain.Depending on your house layout,drilling would be required. Electrician will do short cut like the above you mention but you can always ask them,you want all points to be parallel from the main source no sub splitting.By sub splitting your signal will be weaken.

Thanks for your advice.

I have been reading up on signal weaken upon splitting also. There are some who claim signal strength would still be acceptable if we use good quality splitter and cable, coupled with good wiring skills.

I also have read horror stories of not being able to watch Channel U intermittently for e.g.

OK, my only concern is Starhub installer will find all excuses not to reuse existing trunkings, since they charge $30 transport fee if site survey is negative. Results would be unsightly trunkings all over. Where as my electrician gave me a good plan to be able to conceal everything underneath false ceiling and existing trunkings.
