Moved into a recently built house - it has 2 TV jacks in the lounge and 4 others (one in each bedroom).
We have a Tivo in the lounge, and bought a 2nd Tivo for one of the other rooms. This is when we discovered the only TV jack connected to the aerial is the one in the lounge. After going in the roof I realised all the cables went to a box in the linen cupboard - but they are not connected to anything - just the one to the lounge was connected to the cable from the arial coming down. Anyway in the interim just got a 2 way splitter and this works. But I wondered, if I wanted to hook up all the rooms would I just get a 4 way (6 way?) splitter or can you get some sort of terminal box to put all the cables into. I'm not sure if the signal strength/quality to handle it though.

I also discovered that the phone jacks have a blue cable in them and it has cat5e written on it so I wondered if these cables do double duty as network and phone cables. I did not think the house was wired for ethernet as there are no ethernet jack points, but perhaps all that needs doing is to change the phone jack plates to ones with a phone jack and network jack and have these wired up? There is another box in the linen cupboard which has a large number of blue wire phone type connections. I think I'd need an electrician to make an changes to that - or is it just a case of attaching the blue cable to the network type wall plate?

Finally, the previous occupants had paid for an aerial company to put up an aerial and they installed a phase/array type aerial which is picking up a signal from Kaukau bounced off the hill ie it is not pointing at Kaukau. Thing is, I reakon a directional aerial pointed at Baxters knob should work as it looks pretty much line of sight aside from a bit of a tree and the neighbours house in the way - but would the aerial company not have looked at this option? I am in Brasenose Place in Tawa (Redwood)
