Help me wire my house...

well i scheduled the installation for tomorrow.

i got on the chat thingy with dish this morning, and the lady assured me that they would wire within the walls

this was her words


i still doubt that the guy will do it in the walls, but i guess we'll find out tomorrow.

If nothing else ill have him tell me where i should run everything, and he can come back later and hook it all up
 
Yeah, they won't do it. Well, they might, but they'll charge you for it.

They'll attempt to do it by running along baseboards, drilling through floors, etc. If anything you could have him just tuck the cable against the wall to hook it up, then re-route them later.

The process you quoted is generally how you would fish a cable, but they're not going to do it for free.
 
 
You only need one line, 2 would be nice but not necessary, Separating and diplexing is fine 99.9999999% of the time. just make sure your lines go to one central location for the tech, Make it the BSMT if possible. Don't try to guess where the dish will go, You want to minimise outdoor connections and want the diplexing done inside if possible.
