Extra Tv points
Hey All
Just wondering if any of you know how much its costs to get extra tv points installed in the house?
Or better yet anybody recommend someone to do it on the gold coast.
Pm me if you want.
Thanks Paddy

Re: Extra Tv points
Dont do it....
Extra TV points mean extra Free-to-air tv.
..which means you'll need extra PVR's...
..which means you need to work out which TV you're going to want to watch stuff on so you know which machine to record it on...
Better solution:
- Decent PVR where your existing TV point is (i.e. multiple tuners - 3 is enough for most households)
- Cat5 network cable around the house (no more expensive than the TV points would have been - or you could even use a decent WiFi-n router if your house is small enough and with thin enough walls)
- Network media players in each room....
That way your media is centralised and your viewing much more flexible.
