In all honesty, if you are watching high def on your 722, the wire will work perfectly fine for the hopper. However, that QC guy is by the book. If he goes out and fails my job, I get charged back what I got paid for the job plus $25 admin fee. And they expect me to go fix the issue for free. So I am now out of my time, materials, gas, extra $25, and whatever it costs to go back the second time.
Yes it is the technicians job to replace cables as needed, however if it is something like a two story house that is not straight forward wiring, I'm not gonna spend 3 or 4 hours at your house 'trying' to replace cable without causing damages that i then have to pay to repair.
This industry has a high turn around rate for installers. The chance of getting a tech with the experience to make a correct judgement call is pretty slim.
To the response about having the tech lay lines across floor for the install. That is a trip hazard and a lawsuit waiting to happen, not to mention a failed qc. And then what happens when the customer swaps to existing wires and the system doesn't work properly. Too many variables.
I have a family to take care of. And I have go do what's best for them. Is that the 'other' answer you were looking for?
