Hi everyone, DirecTV is coming out tomorrow afternoon to install a Genie system. I want to ask you folks to see if you know the answer to this.
Most of my house is prewired. I paid a company a lot of money to do it for me. I have CAT5e and RG6 cables from various rooms running into a closet in my office, including feeds from up on the roof for the satellite feed.
Except my living room... Stupidly I didn't have the technician install it there because I was already over budget, and I have a room set up for my home theater, so at the time, I didn't think I would have a TV in the living room.
Well, now I have a TV in the living room.
So the question is... Will the DirecTV installer run a wire between the living room and the office closet for me so everything is centralized? The only way to do that would be to run it beneath the house through the crawl space. Or will he just drill through the exterior wall and run exposed wires?
Is having the installer do a nicer job an option?
For what it's worth, the install job, minus the fact that my living room is not wired, should be pretty easy for the installer because everything else is already hooked up and wired... But I don't think that factors into anything.
Any help? Thank you!
