Preparing a premises for nbn Fibre TV
To ensure consistent delivery of Television and Pay TV services at your premises, please ensure the following (in addition to preparations for the nbn network):
- An F Type wall plate is installed and fitted-off at each television location;
- One continuous RG6Q coaxial cable is run from each television location to the nbn Fibre TV receiver location next to the nbn connection box (NTD);
- A 5-2450MHz RF splitter or tap is installed to cater for each television outlet;
- A single RG6Q coaxial cable is installed from the splitter/tap to the nbn Fibre TV receiver location with a male F Type connector, ready for connection by the registered nbn technician;
- All components including cable and compression connectors are fitted-off and ready for connection;
- All components are selected from Foxtel's approved parts list.
Please note: Responsibility for in-premises cabling remains with the property owner. A Foxtel or Pay TV subscription is required to receive these services.
TV services are presented by nbn at the output of the nbn Fibre TV receiver in each home. To ensure access to TV services at installation, please ensure your builder, electrician or home cabler is aware of these requirements and that your home is prepared as required.
We highly recommend property developers utilise our pre-install option, which enables the installation of the nbn connection box (NTD) while the premises is in construction. This ensures the availability of both TV and broadband services from day one.
