    running network cable outside?

    Can flat network cable for streaming (Cat 5?) be run outside? If so since the ends dont come off, I guess you have to drill a pretty big hole to get the end through the wall? Am I missing something here? Thanks

    any ideas on HD tuner box w/ pvr or dvd recording?

    I guess I wont be able to get an OTA dvr without subscription fees and spending 300 bucks for the Dish pal tr-50. No other manufacturers I can find other than a rebranding channelmnaster for 399. This is unbelieveable. Can anyone at least recommend a hard drive DVD recorder with hdmi and atsc...

    Is it true you should ground both the coax cable to a grounding block and a separate ground wire to the mast back to the block? Where would you attach it to the mast? Thanks
