One more question, my former ISP used to supply cable and internet on the same coax, before it was encrypted, why am I being told that they must be on separate lines in the Condo? FTA antenna and internet, I mean.

I’d put it right at the top of the baseboard since the color is the same as my wall, close anyway.  Mount vertical in corners. Horizontal at floor or ceiling level.

most of my house is wired using that mini trunking stuff for the solid wall runs. works really well and essentially invisible.

i've tried FE's on wifi (rpi3) to a linksys lap N600 (soho 2.4&5ghz 600mbit AP) and it was useless for HD. SD was fine and connectivity was stable just lacked throughput. the general performance of an FE over wifi is noticably slower. just takes longer for things to happen like the initial start of playback.
seeking was also noticably slower and made it essentially useless.

wifi is fine for internet use. anything else then cable it.
