I'm looking to run coax to all the bedrooms and study. I have used these cable and F connectors from Jaycars to the kitchen.

I've become aware that although it states they are used by pay-tv and are Foxtell approved that they might not pass the scrutiny of sky. While I don't yet want sky I thought it prudent to 'Sky-proof' the wiring in-case I changed my mind, especially if it don't add much to the cost of install.
Where does everyone get there sky approved cable and F-connectors from. (Cheap ;-) ) Shop or Internet? I live in Aucklands NorthShore. Do you use crimp or compression? My house is a cavity brick and tile with no insulation in the walls so I had thought that a sealed compression type F-connector might be best. I hadn't used them because of the cost of the crimping tool.
Dick Smith are clearing these Radial coax compression tools but I don't know if it can be used with other compression connectors. The Dick Smith compression F-connector that is supposed to fit this tool looks awfully expensive to me. Do others with more experience with these tools have any ideas?
thanks. Robin
