Are those speaker holes (front left and right) a bit high for sitting on a couch and watching movies?

The actual holes are lower than my random stuck on templates.If you look at the plug height and imagine a 55" TV in the Centre the speakers should be level with the top of the TV. I was tempted to go lower but that would have meant the left speaker firing into the corner sofa. And possibly being blocked by the AV rack on the left.


I also had a look at the Speaker Placement setup on monitor audio's site.

If you want multi-room sky (or freesat) the way to do it is with a quattro LNB (NOT quad LNB) and a multiswitch. Higher install cost (I have a 8 way multiswitch which cost ~£90 IIRC) but allows you to have satellite in as many places as you have multiswitch outputs. It will also mux in TV and radio if you have separate aerials too (they get split at the socket)...
 
Arad85: I already have the faceplates, quattro LNB, would be looking to add two or three Sky HD receivers to feed five rooms, but I am stuck with the choice of a multiswitch.
Looked at the Labgear MS512E, Triax, Fuba, etc, but I can't decide on which one.
 
Thanks Easyrider, larger dish might present a problem.:(

Presently got a old 65cm dish, on front of house, probably upset a few neighbours replacing it with a 90cm dish , could most likely get way with a 80cm one.

Might try a 90cm dish on a pole at rear of house just might get a signal poking it over the roof?

Apologies but your use of the words "that box" made me question if you knew how to do it ;)

Triax here BTW :)

Holy cable batman wow.

Easyrider, this is a second room from your other one or is this a complete new house?

The First cinema room was constructed in an out building while I knocked my house down and built a new one.

This room is in the new build house :)

The First cinema room is still used as the main Movie watching area as I can really crank up the volume without disturbing anyone.
