Hello everyone,

we are buying a 4-room apartment from the developer. The building has not been constructed yet. The construction description states that the living room and each bedroom will have an "antenna socket / multimedia socket for radio and TV." There is a TAE telephone socket in the hallway. To me, this sounds a bit basic. What do you think? Is it possible to connect a telephone to these "multimedia sockets"? Can the router and all the equipment from the network provider (e.g., a cable company) be connected to each of these sockets?

Thanks for your input and best regards
Hendrik

Why don’t you follow up on what exactly is meant by "multimedia outlet"?

I will do that. Along with many other questions and requests. I’m still gathering information and am already researching here as well.

I could – but I don’t want to. We usually sleep in those rooms! ;-)
And even if they are converted into an office space, I still don’t want to watch TV there.

I can understand that. However, I was more referring to the technical possibility. You can’t connect a television directly to the network socket.

Simply install in every living space 1 x TV connection (“multimedia outlet,” 3-hole antenna socket) and 2 x LAN ports (as a double outlet or twin socket). Who can really know today how the room will be used in 20 years?

Actually, you can. I have a Sat-IP converter. By now, it works quite well. This allows any device connected to the LAN/Wi-Fi to display the TV signal. For some TVs, you might need a separate receiver.

But of course you can. That’s actually how I’m planning it for my home as well. It just requires some additional effort.
