Install Question

[silentgarth]

I have an install date set for Monday the 18th. I am upgrading my current programming to HD. I am keeping the Americas Top 250 and picking up the Gold HD package, With the VIP 722.

My question has to do with the cable runs. Somebody told me that the signal that will go to my second TV is actually back feed through the coax cable, to the other tv. Is this right?

 

[HIFI]

yes

So I don't need to go up in the attic and reroute cables? The guy I talked to said they would just go into the cable box I have outside and put in some kind of trans... something.

A lot of what the tech will need to do depends on how your current system is set-up. The person on the phone was probably talking about a diplexer. It may need to go in your attic, it may need to go at your cable box, it all depends on where all of the cables from your house tie together.

I just cant wait. I am going to be worthless that whole day. LOL
