TV Point Installation in Melbourne
Need a new TV outlet in the bedroom, alfresco, garage or home office? Our TV point installation service runs neat, signal-tested cabling to any room of your Melbourne home — usually completed in under two hours.
What Exactly Is a TV Point?
A TV point — sometimes called a TV outlet, antenna point, or wall plate — is the wall-mounted socket that delivers a television signal from your rooftop antenna to your TV. Every home has at least one, but modern households often need three, four, or even five so they can watch free-to-air TV in every bedroom, the rumpus room, the alfresco entertaining area, the home gym, and the home office. Adding new TV points is one of our most common jobs, and it's much simpler and cheaper than most Melbourne homeowners assume.
How Our TV Point Installation Works
When our technician arrives, they'll first locate your existing antenna distribution point (usually in the roof cavity or above the meter box). They'll then plan the cable route to your new outlet location, taking care to use existing wall cavities and ceiling spaces so there's no visible cable run. New RG6 quad-shield coaxial cable is fished through the wall, terminated with a quality F-connector, and finished with a flush-mounted Clipsal-style wall plate that matches your existing outlets. The technician will then test the signal at the new point with a professional meter, confirm signal levels are within specification on every existing TV point as well, and demonstrate full reception to you before leaving.
Why You Need a Proper Splitter (Not a Two-Way Adapter)
A common DIY mistake is adding a new TV point by clipping a cheap two-way adapter onto an existing cable. This almost always degrades signal strength on both the original and the new outlet, leading to pixelation and dropouts. Our installers always use a properly rated splitter with the correct number of outputs, install it in the roof cavity (where it can be serviced later), and add a powered amplifier where the signal needs a boost. The result is balanced, full-strength signal at every TV in the house — even if you have six or seven outlets.
Outdoor and Alfresco TV Points
Melbourne's love of outdoor entertaining has made alfresco TV points one of our most-requested services. We install IP-rated weatherproof outlets in pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and even pool houses, using UV-stable cable and stainless-steel outlet faces designed to withstand years of exposure to weather. Whether you want to watch the cricket from the BBQ or the AFL from the spa, we can run a discreet, properly sealed TV point exactly where you need it.
Renovations, Extensions and New Builds
If you're renovating or adding an extension, the cheapest time to add new TV points is before the gyprock goes up. We work directly with builders, electricians and homeowners during construction to install in-wall conduit and wall plates while the frame is exposed, dramatically reducing the cost compared with retrofitting later. If you're at the planning stage for a new Melbourne home or extension, give us a call and we'll prepare a TV cabling plan as part of your construction documents.
