I'm upgrading from a 508 with a Dish 500 to a 625. I have a legacy twin LNBF & a single cable from the dish to the 508.
If I have read these many posts correctly, I think the 625 could be hooked up either with 2 cables running from the dish to the 625, or with the 1 existing cable and a separator just before the 625. Is one of these two ways better or preferred? Would I even have a choice, or is it the installer's choice?
Related question, the existing cable is about 9 years old, running along the outside of a brick wall facing south. The cable jacket is very faded & cracking all along the length. Will the installer replace the cable as part of the upgrade?
Thanks. This website has been a HUGE help to me!!
