    Question on running RG6 around plumbing

    Duel shielded cable, is not desirable, pain in the rear to work with, Dish or Direct does not use it ! What of [100% shielded] with good RG6 - is double shielded any better at ? We rarely used it in aircraft - or in at broadcast studios ? The good part is Beldon makes more $ selling the product

    Hoodwinked Too in 3D???

    Looks like it did not make it again ! - 3 D. A couple of the technical forums are already saying it is a flop for now. We got closeout pricing on 3D units from Mits and LG on our order last week, and free Micky mouse glasses - plus an extra set free. Seems like the writing is on the wall ?

    1000.4 install mount question

    Dish 300, 500, 1002 ---- That's "d" dish's that have a tri-pod to hold them up. the 1004 uses a shorter mast and the next gauge thicker wall. mount it where you can. if you old one was on the wall - put the 1004 in place of it.
