This is the place where I can ask a stoopid question and get an intelligent answer, right? :yes:
I'm installing a UHF aerial (on a 2m post), and will want to run the cable through the (old) concrete tiles and through the ceiling space, rather than over the tiles where it will look ugly.
1) what is the best stuff to bung up the hole.with after I've put the cable through?
2) do I need to do anything special (beyond cable tying it to the post) to stop the cable moving around during storms, and causing leaks around the hole? Fancy flashing?
3) where's the best spot to drill through a tile without rogering the underlying structure of the roof? Top half, bottom half, from the inside?
And, for bonus points: should I bother to keep my old VHF aerial and use a diplexer? It's on a bargeboard mount on the other end of the house so a pita to move...analogue TV will be going away RSN, I'm told.
TIA, bling will be sent to helpful answers...
