I have just been rewiring our house and have put a long length of CT100
cable (the stuff from B&Q) down from the loft to under the stairs, plus
further bits from under the stairs to where ever we might want the TV (and
the same for phone and network cabling) and was planning to join the
sections with coax plugs as required.

I was talking to a satellite system installer last week and he said you
could not have any joins in cable from a satellite dish. I really don't
want to hack off the new plaster to put in a single cable all the way down.
Is he right, or can it be joined?


Yes, it can be. BUT there will always be a little loss and a little
reflection. Basicall older teh niners tofether, and wrap it with
isnutailin, then pull teh outher sheaths back over and connect them by
careful sodering.

Or get a connector and fit that, tape it and bury it.

Not perfection, but probably good enough.
