All that and you still had to run a wire across the floor.
Thats just my phone line for my 622. The audit natzies called me and instead of pulling out the TV it was easier to run it from another jack,
There are a total of 7 Televisions and 8 receivers in my house, all Dual Tuners. In some rooms like mine for example, I have a 622 and a 942 receiver.
As far as all the cables, there are (4) Coax Cables to each wall plate and there is 1 wall plate on each wall in each room.

Great job. I like to be a critic, so a couple reccomendations I would give:
(1) Dump the DVD/VCR combo. Get a dedicated DVD player and VCR or use a VCR/DVD combo JUST as a VCR. The audio/video processing in those combo units is terrible.
(2) Cables coming out of that 2nd DPP44 need some zip ties. Same with Port 1 on the first one. They also need some cable clamps and are in need of shortening or loops.
(3) Mount the surge protector to the wall.
(4) Get a wireless phone jack.
Of course, after a few more hours to finish it, you'll probably neaten those wires up anyway. Don't take what I say too seriously though...I'm a bit of a Nazi when it comes to cable mangement.
Nice job!
I'd hate to imagine a Dish bill with that many tuners though...

OMG! How many computers do you have? That rack has like 100 ethernet ports!
How do you watch all 16 tuners at the same time? You said you only have 7 TV's but if you have 8 receivers, all dual tuners that should be enough for 16 TV's right? So if you only have 7 TV's why don't you just have 4 receivers, (plus one tuner left over!)
Also, how does DISH let you get away with all those receivers. I thought they had a limit of 2 receivers or a maximum of 4 tuners total.
Very nice, clean install though!
Wish I could say my wiring looks that good!
Great Job!
