Just having a last-minute think about the house move. In the front room are various TV cables terminating in RF coax connectors and the other ends of these emerge with the same connectors in different rooms (all done behind the walls, so it all looks nice and neat, but tracing anything is nigh on impossible).
I need to make sure I've got the right bit of kit to link all the connections up. It seems like I need a box which takes the main aerial coming from outside, as its input, and then takes these various cables as individual outputs.
At home currently, we do already have something similar, but the box I have is a Labgear unit which has F-type connectors rather than RF coax. So can I take that with me and adapt it, either by using a converter piece from RF to F-type, if it exists, for the individual cables, or cutting off the RF connectors and adding new F-type connectors? I have all the right parts to add completely new F-type connectors if needed, because I bought bags of various types when I bought the Labgear box.
Or is it best to get a completely new box which can take the existing RF coax connections, and if so, anybody like to recommend anything? I haven't paid a lot of attention to this, but I think are at least 4 TV cables which need to be fitted.
