| There are lots of ways that you can use a Loft Box so this is just an example. You might want to add a Freeview box in which case you would connect it directly to the TV socket of a wall plate. In the living room it goes between the wall socket and the VCR aerial input. In the bedroom it goes between the wall socket and the TV set. Barry also fitted a Remote Extender in each bedroom. With a Loft Box system, it's easy. You simply connect it between the wall socket and the TV. (Or between the wall socket and your Freeview box, if you use one). It's important that you wire up the loft box FULLY as shown in our web page wiring diagram. If you omit vital connections (such as the return feed) the unit can not work. This is obvious from the internal diagram on page 26 of our "Piping TV.." eBook. Without the Return Feed the signals go ONLY to the living room. They can not go to TV OUT 1 - 4 because there is no internal connection. Please DO connect the Return Feed. It need only be a short link cable for the purpose of testing. Please also be sure to connect the decombiner wall plate for each output in use, otherwise you could cause damage.

A loft can become very hot in summer, which adds to the risk. If you install equipment in the loft, please take all appropriate steps to ensure that a fire can not spread, including: - Install it in a flame-resistant container with good ventilation.
- Keep it away from flammable materials.
- Ensure that it can't accidentally be covered by blankets etc. tossed hurriedly into the loft.
- Ensure that it is properly fused and connected through a Residual Current Breaker or other safety device.
- Ensure that it is correctly earthed if an earth connection is provided.
