No, it's basic bad practice to put the TV system on a shared circuit. It
can cause all sorts of problems.


Since when did TV become an important circuit?* Sure, keep the heart
monitors on a seperate circuit, but TV?* Come on....


The TV system serves a wide area at some complexes. A system serving 400
dwellings, hospital beds, or cells, is 400 times more important than an
aerial serving one dwelling. TV is especially important for the
housebound, those stuck in hospital, or those incarcerated. Many TV
systems also carry pictures from CCTV cameras, so if the system goes off
security is compromised. Because of poor radio reception indoors in some
places many people use the system for FM, DAB or radio via Freesat. If
there's a spell of really bad weather or another semi-emergency people
need local radio.
