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
