I'm trying to figure out the best way to wire my home for cable TV. Read
some conflicting opinions on some web sites and thought I would ask here.
Which option would be best or is there a third? Or doesn't it make a
difference?

1. Have one central location where the main cable comes in the house.
Split everything from that location and run seperate cables to each outlet

2. Split the main cable where it comes in the house and run cables to
general locations in the house. From there split it further and run cable
to each outlet.



2 is easiest to implement and costs less. However it has more
connections and more difficult to keep the noise out. But in general
noise shouldn't be TOO hard to keep out.

Given the choice in a new house I would do 1. Otherwise I would do 2
and if performance is poor switch to 1 as needed.

use rg6 quad shielded for in wall runs.
