We've just moved into a house that was converted from a bungalow a few
years
back; all the interior walls upstairs are plasterboard. I want to install
a
DAB aerial on the roof and ideally run the cable through the loft and down
through the gap between the wall by our study. My draft action plan is:

Install aerial and run cable up to just above my study (need to find some
method of measuring distances to ensure I'm in the right place)
Drill a hole through to the cavity
Drop cable down into cavity
Drill hole through wall in study and attempt to locate cable
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
have fun....

I've never done this but how about dropping a plumb down there (it will hang
nicely unlike the wire) and then attach the wire to the end of the plumb and
pull it back up?? instead of trying to fine the wire



Install wall mounted coax point

It all sounds fine in writing but I wonder whether I'm setting an
achievable
goal, so I'd welcome opinions from the experienced!

Regards,
Chris
