Where the modularity of the jacks is needed. Normal people just connect directly to a socket.
True, but honestly, it’s totally cumbersome. Crimping with pliers is fine and done. Tacking the socket at the bottom with LSA plus pliers is totally stressful.
The question is primarily, if it is only about the convenience of the one-time cable placement, what is more economical. If the electrician wants to use [Jacks], then it should be at the same price or cheaper than the conventional placement, otherwise the customer gains nothing from it.
Antenna system or SAT must be run from each connection to the SAT splitter. You need two connections because of watching TV and recording in parallel, then also two cables either in the rooms with SAT end sockets or simply F connectors on them. From the dish to the splitter, four cables to the LNB. With up to four cables, a quattro LNB directly to the connections is also enough.
Hi, please don’t take the question as an attack, but isn’t a classic SAT coax cabling a bit old-fashioned nowadays? We’re always talking about networking, smart home, and Cat7 network cabling and then ADDITIONALLY pull multiple coax cables into the different rooms to be able to watch and record?! Wouldn’t it be more sensible to feed the SAT signal into the "IP network" and stream the TV signal, delegate recordings to a central NAS in the basement/technical room, and then be able to watch the recordings on any client (TV, RPi, mobile device)? Does anyone perhaps already have stable solutions for that? I’m really considering whether I really need all the coax cables and unnecessary sockets or just go from the dish/LNBs to the basement and then convert and stream the signal over TCP/IP. Are there any experiences or device recommendations? My Kathrein EXIP-414 doesn’t really impress me yet in combination with TVHeadend and OpenELEC clients... Regards, Stephan

Hello, even with large systems they do not do without it. I would strictly separate it, just because of the transmission rates etc. They are two completely different systems. Nobody cares about a few cables anymore anyway.
