    Is It Really FREE Installation?

    Thank you for the replys. If I leave the ends in the house unterminated and precut a hole for a new plate, will the installer add the plate and terminate the cables at the receiver locations as part of the "free" install. I want to keep the CATV jacks for future use. I do not mind the wall...

    Is It Really FREE Installation?

    The DW is requesting for us to ditch cable and get D*. I'm looking at 2 HD-DVRs, 3 standard boxes. I have old RG59 cables ran through a crawl space. So from what I'm reading here, I should be able to get a free install if I run my QS RG6 from each location (2 for each HD-DVR) and leave enough...

    Pre-wiring for New Construction

    I have found some plastic conduit linked off of one of the prementioned websites and was able to actually see it installed in a new construction. They had the home wired for Sat, cable, internet, phone, and security all pulled to one location in the garage. I don't like the idea of putting it in...

    Pre-wiring for New Construction

    You guys are such a wealth of knowledge! I am planning a basement for this house which is not the norm in this area. After talking with a few friends who opted for basements, I don't think I can do without it now. My wife and I have been mapping out the wiring schematics all weekend. We...

    What about Virginia?!?! I have watched my neighbors bounce back and forth from D, E, and Cable for a few years. I want to make a jump to D, but am wondering if I should wait for the upgrade for my area, the bugs to be fixed with the H20-700s, and a great deal offering from D?!? So when will...
