Extra TV Points in Melbourne: Installation & Costs
2026-03-01 · 5 min read
Rated 5.0 on GoogleAdding 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.
Frequently asked
Can you add a point without making a mess?
In most homes yes — we work from the roof cavity and only cut a small wall plate hole at the new point. Plaster damage is rare.
How long does it take?
A single extra point is usually 60-90 minutes. Multiple points in one visit are quicker per point.
