Question

Can I connect sky cable to a digital aerial?

Community Answer

Yes, but the thin twin cable probably isn't as good as even a normal TV cable. Still, it's likely to work well enough, unless your signals are exceptionally poor.

Question

Will connecting more connectors affect the quality of the signals?

Community Answer

Yes, negatively, though seldom significantly. It's always better to use a cable of the correct length than to join shorter ones together.

Question

How can I connect a CCTV camera to my video recorder and television?

Community Answer

If you have an analogue CCTV camera, fit a BNC connector to the coax, then use a BNC to RCA adapter and plug into RCA input. Your IP camera will need to be connected to a Digital Video Recorder or a Network Video Recorder first.

Question

Can I connect a second internet provider to my wall outlet?

Community Answer

You cannot short circuit the feeds from two providers together (i.e have two providers coming out of the same socket). However, you can have two sockets on the same mounting plate, which is the same electrically as having two separate sockets -- one for each provider.

Question

Are junction boxes available for coax cable?

Community Answer

Yes. If a junction box doesn't get you what you want, search for "splitter box" instead. To be honest, though, most times, you could use chop-blocks and get away with it.
