Does anyone know what the situation is if I want to run RG6 about 5m in
the same bit of conduit as 230V wiring?

The previous owners of my house ran two bits of conduit from the house
to the garage, one has 230V and a phone wire and the other has a water
pipe in it.

Guess, where the MythTV backend is supposed to go?  It'll involve a run
of RG6 and some network cable out to the garage.

I intend on using the old phone wire as a draw string to pull through a
couple of runs of shielded Cat5e, 2x RG6 and maybe some fibre.  A nice
side effect of using the shielded Cat5e for a new phone line is it
should get rid of the horrible hum on the phone...

But I'm still concerned that there might be too much interference on the
RG6.  This'll be carrying both satellite and antenna signals.  Any
ideas?

Oh, and I'm still tempted to put in a run of balanced audio as well...

Cheers!
