Second Box Through House Aerial?

I only have one cable coming into my house but would like to set up two A780 boxes.

I don't currently use the TV aerial that is located in my roof space. The aerial is wired into a booster, which feeds cabling that is wired to virtually every room in the house.

I wondered if I could split the cable signal coming into the house and plug it into the TV aerial wall socket, run it back to the booster and then pipe it round to the other rooms in the house. (I realise that I would then need a second A780 and homeplug)

I've had some people who say that it might work and others who say it won't, because the cable cabling is different to the cabling that would have been used for the aerial

Can you help?

 

a cable box dont work off an aerial, you need a cable feed, a min sub from yer provider will do

 

I know.

I'm proposing a cable feed (with a subscription) coming into the living room in the house. I then split the incoming cable feed using a 'splitter'. One end from the splitter goes into a A780, which then has the lan connection via a home plug. The other end then goes into the wall aerial socket. The aerial socket is wired to the roof. I would then plug the aerial lead in the roof (coming from the split signal) into a booster (attenuator). The other end of the attenuator would then go to the aerial sockets in all of the other rooms in the house. I would then choose which other room I want to wire up a second A780. I would have a wire (carrying the cable feed from the aerial socket, connected to the attenuator, connected to the feed from the splitter in the living room, connected to the cable feed)coming out of the wall aerial socket into the back of the second A780 (which would also be linked into another homeplug).

Phew! Does that make more sense and would it work?

 

lol..... once you have yer cable cable into the room and homeplugs working ya should be fine, but, I done a test recently on homeplugs, for them to work, the socket where ure krypt is plugged in has to be on the same circuit as the plug in which yer router / homeplug is plugged into, if on a different circuit, they dont work mate

 

I guess I'm not explaining this too well.

The bit I wanted advice on is:

Can I plug the cable feed into the house's aerial socket and use the attenuator in the roof space to pipe the cable signal around the house?

 

yes it will work, once your cable live feed is strong enough, a good signal. If any of your points are not wired properly, you will loss signal quality
