Re: Installation
Hi Guys,
In response to penpole's post, when I had my NTL service installed over 4 years ago (NTL Broadband and Phone line) I too didnâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t want cables running up the front of the house or up and over doorframes. The service was being installed in my bedroom and after thinking about it for a while I decided to ask if the cable could be run under the floorboards. On the day of the installation I removed the necessary floorboards, drilled the holes through the joists and when the guys arrived they had no problem with running the cable as I wanted it. The NTL outside connection point is located just inside our passage door (so its not visible when the door is closed) the phone and coax cable then run up the wall and into the ceiling, and then run under the floorboards to my room where they re-appear behind the TV and terminate at the coax box and telephone point. I wasnâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t assertive in any way when I asked them to run the cable this way and I just kept them topped up with coffee and biscuits, they actually finished the job ahead of schedule as I had done most of the prep work anyway and were able to go and have some food before they had to be at their next job. I did the same when I had Sky TV installed, ran the cable from where I wanted the minidish installed and ran it under the floorboards into my room, again when the engineer arrived all he had to do was put up the dish and install the digibox.
All the best
Dan
