[AusNOG] Hotel DOCSIS recommendations

[Jamie Lovick]

Hi,

Depending on the coax cable used, you may get a lot of noise from TV. RG6
is preferred as a minimum. RG59 doesn't really cut it. Also, watch out for
dodgy splitters used in the walls. I have seen some coax just stripped back
and wires twisted together to split the cable. If the cable and splitters
are okay, you'll likely have to change the sockets from regular outlets to
F-Type.

While I haven't done DOCSIS, I have done Satellite TV and MATV installs.
Hotels can be a nightmare, especially older ones!
