He laughed and said you know we are only insured to clip to skirting s and around door frames not thru them.

BT, Sky and Virgin etc. all the same excuses, not insured to do xyz.

If you know what your doing, it's easier to tell them to give you the drum and do the hard graft yourself.

You get the job looking nice but don't expect to get a discount on the installation.

Oh yeah I know.

In another place they mounted the NTE so low on the skirting you could not use the splitter for broadband filter.

I was once told by a Virgin media engineer he couldn't use the ct100 cable I had pulled in from the lounge to upstairs bedroom ( and fitted compression F Ends )

Because they didn't install and it could damage the box if it wasn't their own cable .

( even tho the cable was out of the van of another engineer who kindly forgot to take it with him a few months earlier )

So you let him run his up the stairs and connected anyway?

No no he ran a temp loose cable in and I swapped it over after he left - ended up with 30m of it as we'll

Ct100 is 75 ohm impedance, catv uses 50 ohm. That'll be the true reason

Is a Sky HD Box Hdmi not HDCP compliant?

If so you could run into a few problems, as converters & splitters will need to be HDCP compliant, so as James said I would avoid eBay.

Wasn't ct100 but similar it was something that was used by another Virgin engineer
