RF cables - any reason to use them?

stevenoon · 27-03-2007, 20:23

Hi,

I'm just about to clean and re-cable my entertainment set-up and I'm thinking about the best way to re-cable everything using as few cables as possible. Is there any reason to still use the old fashioned RF "aerial" cables as well as scart cables? My set-up mostly consists of television, Sky tuner (I don't have a analogue or freeview connection), 2 DVD recorders and an XBOX. My new Panasonic DVD recorder includes 3 RF cables and connection diagrams to use them but I was wondering if they are really necessary.

Thanks,

Steve.

No, if you've got enough spare SCART or HDMI connectors to do the job then why bother with RF?

I've got Sky piped round the house with co-ax, but other than that everything's SCARTed up.
