Belling Lee connectors dont normally screw onto the cable, so I wonder

Why
would someone have two aerials into one room?


You might well ask that, but when I moved into my current house two
years ago the lounge had:

8 Belling Lee points - all with good analogue & digital signals
3 F-type points - one actually connected to the dish, one to Virgin
cable and the other feeds into the loft, apparently to be linked to
another F-type in one of the bedrooms.
5 double power outlets
0 Telephone sockets

During redecorating this summer I found another active terrestrial TV
point - bringing the total to 9 - and a telephone point, hidden behind
an access panel to a soil pipe.

Why does anyone need 12 TV points in a single room? ;-)

Have you got TV and
Radio aerials on the roof?


|Don't know. They are very high up and there's no room to see from a
distance (unless I want to get wet!) Was going to wander out with a pair
of binocs today but decided staying in and drinking beer was a more
profitable use of my time. :)

I'm glad SOMEONE'S got their priorities right.

God knows, but the phrase 'get a life' has never seemed more apposite.

Very similar to ebay 350107455040 but better quality. The end you can't
see in the pic is threaded like an F connector.

Depends on how many sources are in that room and how many of those
are put into the distribution system to be watchable else where in
the house.

Couple of sat boxes (watch different sat channels in different
places), DVD, BluRay, PVR, there's 5 plus incoming aerial(s) and
connections from the dish makes at least 8...

Though I got the impression that these 12 sockets were spread around
the room rather than in a "media center" corner. In which case built
in flexabilty for when The Powers can't decide on or want to change
the room layout. Far easier to flood the place with cable/outlets
when doing a major refurb than have to do it afterwards when the
decorations are finished. 4 sockets to each corner doesn't seem
excessive to me but is 16 outlets in total...
