Foam looks the business.
How much and where from?
Thanks.

Bill wouldn't know how to fake-up a post, without enlisting the help of
whichever dodgy IT pikey he pays for computer assistance.

Which coaxial cable to use?
 

I am trying to do thus:

Using the rf2 output from a sky+ box via a splitter box to attach 2 cables,
one for upstaurs and one for conservatory.
I will fit a magic eye at the end of each cabel giving me aerial connection
to each tv for quality pictures and also the ability to use the sky+ box in
upstairs room or conservatory.
The magic eye splitter box does not need any additional power to feed two
outputs.

No I only have digital tv's and I live in the Granada region.

Yes I want the cable under the house attached to the underside of the
floorboards and nice wall sockets fitted so it looks spot on. Not keen on
all these cables up walls and over the roof etc as they are subject to
the elements whereas under the floorboards it's nice and dry all the time
:)

So ct100 cable with no silver is the way to go, thanks fellas.

I take it with 2 wall sockets the rf2 signal output strength will still
be strong enough to work?

The RF2 output signal is analogue, but ignore the previous poster because
"digital" sets still include analogue tuners as well.
It is not clear whether you are trying to feed 2 sets with the RF2 output.
You mentioned a splitter, so I assume so. The RF2 output won't be strong
enough to work well if you split it.
If you wish to have a magic eye in two different rooms, you should buy a
special TVlink-enabled twin-output booster and connect it to RF2, then
feed the two outputs from this to the respective rooms.
If, on the other hand, you wish to have a magic eye in only one room,
connect the coaxial cable for this room directly to RF2 (with or without
wall plates), and then use RF1 to feed any non-magic-eye rooms.

Don't worry Bill's site is fine,
there's just a bit of a spat going on here ...

Okay, understood. Can you tell me the make and model of your "magic eye splitter
box"?

Well either of:

Okay, either of those should be fine.

Stating the obvious, but make sure there are no short circuits when you do the
wiring - the outer braid/foil must not touch the inner core of copper.

Yes will do and I'm going to fit faceplates on each wall to make it a tidy
and permanent job, hopefully.
