Hello,

I am currently planning my house and my next "trade" to focus on is
"How do I distribute the TV signal to the rooms?"

I have 10 locations where I want to be able to watch TV (no, I will not set up 10 TVs).
The usual method is with a splitter in the basement and coaxial cables running to the rooms.
However, I have heard that there are converters that allow distributing these signals via CAT7 cable.
Since I will be installing plenty of those, my question is: how does this work?

I have already asked Mr. Google, but he was not very helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the responses.

So, IPTV of any kind – NO, that really is too slow for football.

I’m going to set up a proper network in the house, so my question was whether I should also send the TV signal through it. But I think I will stick with coaxial cable, or look for small receivers that I can put in between.

Thanks

Is there a way to get IPTV through Telekom without having to use the Media Receivers? They are really annoying and, above all, far from attractive...

Use Zattoo or Waipu. This way, a receiver is not necessarily required, and there are no "problems" with network configuration.
With Telekom, a receiver is required.

There is a way to stream it via PC using the VLC client.
At least that used to work. I never really looked into it. I believe it’s only the public broadcasters.

Alternatively, there are also MoIP solutions, meaning the entire video signal from a device placed somewhere (source/satellite receiver or destination/TV) is transmitted over the IP network. However, this comes at a cost.

So, I’m also interested in technology and related aspects. That’s why we had network cables installed to the TV location in our new build.

However, I have to say that the TV stick from a major US retailer combined with the TV subscription package from a large DSL telecom reseller – all streamed via Wi-Fi in the house – is currently our perfect TV solution. And no, it’s very stable with no interruptions or dropouts, including features like timeshift and recording.

Additionally, this setup is mobile, which is convenient if you rearrange the furniture later.
