Hi,
I already have Virgin Media installed with a VM socket on the external wall where the cable comes in (the type where the cable attaches to the bottom of the socket). The TV is on the other side of the room, so at the moment, the cable from this socket goes between a gap in the floor boards, under the floor and up a hole from an old radiator install.
We're getting a new floor installed in that room which will be glued down, which means no more gaps and radiator holes, but I don't want a cable trailing across the room. I'd therefore like to put cable under the floor "properly", with a socket at each end of the room rather than holes in the walls with wire poking out.
I understand VM have their own cabling, and over 20 years of being a customer means I have no shortage of such cabling in the house. So what I'm asking, is if there would be any issues with making some of that cabling cross the room, terminating on sockets with F-type connectors, and then using short cables to connect it to the VM wall socket and hub.
A diagram should make this clear:
Would an electrician be okay to make those cable-to-socket connections? Ideally they'd be nice standard square sockets, not the giant VM ones.
