Hopper w/sling wiring from old hardware

[krauser1]

Hi -

If I upgrade my existing system: 922 and 612 to (1) hopper and (1) joey, would the tech need to re-wire any of the existing RG6 in place?

Thanks

A tech is required when you upgrade to the Hopper system. I check upgrade options if you are interested? Please Private message me the account/phone number as well as the 4 Digit Pin you created.

If your present coax is RG6, the answer to your question is, probably not, as long as TV(s) remain in same rooms as before.

as long as its not all chewed up with a bunch of barrels in it, the tech will use existing wiring unless he/she is masochistic.

I know for internal techs we all try to use existing cable runs if possible because it increases our points per hour which effects our bonuses.
