I'm moving house soon, and would like to have a similar set up with Sky as I do right now.

Currently, there is a feed running from the dish into my Living Room, which connects into the Sky Box alongwith the Aerial. This comes out of the box into RF1 and RF2. RF1 goes into my Living Room VCR and goes outside, past the dish and into Bedroom 4 (RF2 going into my Living Room TV).

It then splits, by way of a booster, into Bedroom 3, Bedroom 2 and Bedroom 1, as well as feeding bedroom 4. (Currently live in a bungalow).

My new house will have five bedrooms (2 storeys) needing linked up, as well as the downstairs study.

Would it be feasible to do the following:

One wire from living room to go upstairs to Bedroom 3 (right above living room); Booster in Bedroom 3 to split cabling for Bedroom 2, 3, 4; Booster in Bedroom 2 to split cabling for Bedroom 1, 2, 5; Booster in Bedroom 5 to split cabling for Bedroom 1, 5, and Study?

This basically means:

Lounge > Bed 3
Bed 3> Bed 4 + Bed 2.
Bed 2 > Bed 5.
Bed 5 > Bed 1 + Study.

Will I really need all these boosters, and what impact will this have on the quality of the signal? Bearing in mind I would also possibly want to fit another dodgybox in my bedroom (Bed 2), would this still be feasible? I know that there is gonna be a HUGE amount of wiring to be carried out; so can anyone suggest any suitable wallplates etc?

Also, I need a network cable and telephone line to run from Downstairs study to Bedroom 5 (Above). Any kind of wallplates that will do all of this for me?

Really sorry for such a long post, any advice would be really really helpful.

(Edit so as not to confuse anyone).

I run RF1 from Sky to VCR then to an 8 way aerial amp in the loft, then back down to main tv and all other rooms. Maybe more cabling but less amps! An unused chimney is an ideal route, I also run stereo audio out phonos so I can have stereo tv upstairs. This set-up allows DVD and video upstairs as well. If you want to use magic eyes, make sure the aerial amp(s) can pass the signals and voltage and use RF2. I got round this with a bit of dodgy wiring but everything works fine.

see the thing I would really like to be able to do is put a video recorder before the main upstairs booster (in bed3), so that all the lines that lead off it can watch the same video at the same time - I do this right now, with a VCR looping a music channel 24/7 - i'd like to have the ability to do this or watch a film in bed while someone else can watch it in another room (saves having to stay up).

Yeah I think this should work, my main tv and video are downstairs but the video rf channel is available anywhere.
