The antenna doesn't affect the resolution, and "digital" is only vaguely relevant. They go on the roof because that's the easiest place to get good reception. I'd only put TV outlets in locations you expect to use them. As time goes on there's a shift away from using RF modulated signals direct from the antenna, and instead distributing video as a stream over the network. So the Cat-6 cabling is more useful for future-proofing than RG6. Similarly, "phone outlets" are not what they used to be. Now they will run cat-6 cabling with RJ45 connectors, so they are exactly the same thing as a data outlet, and just connected to a voice port instead of a router. So if you have a phone outlet in a room, you may not need as many data outlets for future-proofing, as later you can swap a phone outlet to instead work as a data outlet if the room usage changes. I'd mainly look at putting data points only in places where there's likely to be a computer or media centre device. It can be useful to have more than one per room for flexibility of where to put things, and also in case there's more than one ethernet connected device. But bear in mind that you can always add a network switch to an outlet to connect multiple devices to one outlet, so don't go overboard in provisioning lots of outlets. I'd question the need for data outlets in bedrooms. Phones and tablets are pretty much wifi only, and laptops are moving in that direction. I'd put more emphasis in finding a good wi-fi access point location(s), and cabling through to there. Then have data outlets to main media centre locations and desktop PC installations. It can be nice to have lots of cabled locations just in case, but you have to weigh up the cost involved against the likelihood of them being useful. Phone outlet has to be redone for data points u are mistaken that they are exactly same and swap out for future which means yes the hole in wall can be swapped but not the same outlet as u ll have to change everything including cables If you're referring to Eufy homebase, then just put a switch between a datapoint and put the homebase elsewhere near another device in your home unless you want teh… 9 13845 Scientists have used random matrix theory to demonstrate theoretically that the neutrino mass hierarchy can be explained mathematically.
