My friends are building a house in Cambridge, and want fibre and Vodafone TV Freeview|HD.

 

The fibre has been run from the street to the external wall of the house, and a conduit put through the wall to the internal wall of their study/office. The sparkies have installed one Cat5e cable from the study to each room of the house, so there is one Cat5e from the study to behind the TV in the lounge.

 

 

 

I assume the ONT and Vodafone supplied “HomeHub” modem/router will be installed in the study, and the Vodafone Digital TV Recorder will be installed in the lounge.

 

 

 

In the Cambridge area (Waikato), will the TV signal be delivered by IPTV over the fibre? Or do they require a Sat dish or UHF aerial?

 

The user guide for the Digital TV Recorder suggests the signal is delivered over coax cable, and the network connection is for STB management only, not content delivery. Is this outdated? If this isn't outdated, where does this coax cable come from?

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Ben
