100m Multiroom Extension Possible ?

[bigtone69]

Im wanting to put my second V Box down the garden in my summerhouse. Will there be any problem with the length of the cable required, approx 100m ?

Thanks

You might need VM to put you on a higher signal tap which you might have to pay for

Thanks Graham.

Is it worth me giving it a go first or is it a none starter ?

Your going to get some serious signal degredation at that distance I would think

[spiderplant]

Probably a non-starter. Have you considered using a wireless video sender? That could work over that distance if it is has clear line-of-sight.

brother has done somthing along simlier lines office/ garage. his distance was about 70 meters away and had a near perfect signal.

I think it really depends on how far you are away from the Street cab as I would have thought that there are houses more than that distance away.

Does the cable come into the property from the front or back .?

[chickendippers]

Wherever you ask. I'm sure the installer would rather run it round the outside of the house than have to try and disguise it indoors.

Its in and working like a dream !!! :)

Did you do it yourself?

My neighbour had virgin media round upgrading him to HD and bummed a roll of cable and fittings off the engineer for a tenner. So I ran the cable down the garden but realised that you really need a proper crimping tool to make the ends off, so gave the guy a call and he came round fitted the ends, we plugged it in and it worked first time. Gave him a tenner for his time and everyones happy!

Cool the fact that the cable was made properly is definitely a plus, let us know how you get on
