By see how many wire, you not able to judge is direct or loop, becoz the concept is, direct is taking power direct from DB, you need at lease 3 wire for normal 13A power point, while loop is sharing power with the nearest power point, that also you will see 3 wire or 6 wire (if the wire still share to other point from this outlet)

But basically, you do not need 8 point ALL direct from DB, the best way is 1 point from DB, then all other 7 point share with that direct point will do, TV and other player not really consume lot of power

In that case, there is 2 way you can check, 1st is checking your own, off individual circuit at DB 1 by 1 to see is all 8 point are cut off separately? But sometime this 1 not really work becoz even they having diff wire from DB to TV, but they still using same circuit to giving power, so you may find out some plug are cut off together as well. If this happen, you can request your contractor to test the point for you, by removing the joining wire at DB and show you all the point had diff wire, but not looping some where.
