    Thru-the wall room to room 8 inch fan

    When building our home I included a Dedicated Home Theater Room that has had major temperature issues from the start.

    Has anyone been successful with DISH installing Hoppers using previous (older) premium RG-6 coaxial cables? Several years old and would not think it would be rated 3,000 MHz. When did that rating become available? I have a built-in powered distribution cabinet located in the garage full of...
