Extra TV Points in Melbourne: Installation & Costs

2026-03-015 min read

Adding a TV point to a bedroom, study or rumpus room sounds simple — and when it's done right, it is. Done wrong, every existing TV point in the house loses signal.

Splitter vs amplifier A passive splitter divides existing signal — every output loses 3.5-4 dB. Add a couple of points and the marginal TV upstairs starts pixelating. The fix is a powered distribution amplifier that boosts the signal before splitting.

Cable runs We pull RG6 quad-shield from the existing junction (usually in the roof cavity) to the new wall plate. Concealed runs go inside the wall where possible; surface mounts use small white duct.

Wall plate finish Standard Australian F-type wall plate, flush mount. We supply and fit — no taping over a hole left by the previous tradie.

Getting a quote We discount per-point pricing when multiple points are done in the same visit. Quotes are free and itemised — call us with how many points you need and where, and we'll give a fixed figure before we start.

When the existing system can't take more points Older homes with degraded coax sometimes need the trunk cabling replaced before adding points — we'll meter and tell you up-front. Call 0497 098 109.
