(First-time poster, so I apologize in advance...I cross-posted this on broadbandreports/dslreports)
I live in Sachse, TX and am currently a Dish Network customer. I'll be switching to FiOS TV on Monday, 8-14. I had a question or two (or three or four) about the installation process. I'm currently a FiOS internet customer, so I would think that some of the work has already been done. Is that right? Verizon will be setting up two STBs in two different rooms. Those rooms already have coax running to them, and I believe that all the coax in the house runs through a junction box (I believe they called it a "home run" when the house was being built) in the master closet.
Any idea how long the install will take? If all the coax runs through this junction box, can the installers run a new line to the junction box and access the two coax lines from there? Or will they have to run two separate lines to the two rooms where the STBs will be set up?
When I got FiOS internet set up, the installers refused to go into the attic because it wasn't all floored, etc. (As a result, I had to be the attic crawler). Can I expect that same problem this time? Will they even have to get into the attic if the FiOS internet is already set up? The fiber line is currently being run to the study (for internet use), so that's where the router is. Will they have to move this line and the router somewhere else?
I'm really clueless about the tech side of this stuff. Can anyone help? I'd greatly appreciate it.
