There may be issues with having so many potential outlets for cabl tv around the house. Varying cable lengths cause varying signal levels on the network. If these levels drift outside tolerance tv reception in the house will suffer, or may stop working completely.

When the VM installer comes, he will adjust the levels for the box(es) he installs and will leave it in good working order. However if your customer at some point moves a box to another location in the building there is no guarantee it will work, and VM will charge £99 to come out and make the necessary adjustments should that be the case.

In fact, for this reason it's just possible he may refuse to install at all, with so many trailing cables and so many potential things to go wrong.

We do have installers on here - it would be wise to wait for one of them to post with further advice.
