Question about install prep?

[leonreno]

I am in the process of getting Dish network. I have installed an OTA antenna and thought while I am running cable from the antenna to my tv that I would run the cables for the sat into the house also. The antenna will be connected to a grounding block on the outside and thats the point I would run the cables from to the inside for the sat receiver. Questions are is, will this be fine to the installer? Figure they would love not having to crawl under my house and running wire and I would make sure its done the way I want. I am using RG6Q cable so I think that should be good. Second question, I will have the ViP722k installed and I should be on the Eastern Arc 110/119/129. How many cables need to go from outside to the receiver, 1 or 2?

You should be fine with that. One cable for 722.

my personal opinion would to run two to every location, cuz you never know what either company will come up with next as a new and improved updated system

Be careful--the installer may want to kiss ya........

You only NEED one cable. As stated, it wouldn't hurt to have two, just in case..

If you're going to use OTA module on the 722k you'll want 2 lines going to the receiver. 1 for OTA and one for Sat. I say this assuming you'll be diplexing the TV2 signal.
