Hello everyone,
I am trying to catch the early worm and am already racking my brain about the wiring in the not yet existing house (bungalow o.k.).
What I know so far:
A small server/media center is to be installed later in the utility room. The network cabling should be done with CAT7.
Five network outlets are needed in the living room.
One in the children's rooms/bedroom.
I would also like to equip the kitchen with 2 outlets. The bathroom remains free.
So now it stops there.
I don't have any exact ideas yet on how I want to implement the whole thing.
Of course, internet is logical. Pull cables from the patch panel in the utility room into the rooms. Ideally use double-socket network outlets ([kenne den Fachbegriff nicht, aber ich glaube ihr wisst was ich meine]). It shouldn't be a problem with Cat7, right?
Only with the TV, I am totally undecided. Currently, we have IP-TV (one channel to watch and one to record) and are quite satisfied with it.
Unfortunately, according to Telekom, we will only get a 16 Mbps line later. IP-TV is possible with that, but when the kids get older, more people will be on the network and then I'll freak out.
So I try to think future-oriented and am slowly warming up to a satellite dish. But that would mean I have to have coax cables laid everywhere, right? Then there is also a receiver.
How does that work then? Can I position one receiver in the utility room and then run the cables star-shaped from there into the rooms (the kids will surely want TV too)? Or does each room need its own receiver and the satellite dish goes star-shaped from there?
