I was directed to this forum from the DirecTV forum due to Dish's multiroom receivers. That group suggested I get further information from the users of this group.
I'm tired and frustrated with cable and am considering moving to satellite. Over the years, we've collected quite a number of televisions and they are all hooked up and used occasionally. We have two primary televisions (one HD) and 4 other TV's that are on once in a while to watch local news, etc. We currently have standard (older) cabling in the house and I'd like to avoid new cable installations for every television. I'd be OK with cable installation to the two primary televisions, but I'd like to find some way to power the other TV's *if possible*. That brings me to the Dish multiroom options.
So, the question to the group... What suggestions would you make for me for a setup like this? All of the cabling runs converge to one location, so I have that as an advantage. Can I actually place these receivers somewhere completely away from the TV's and then drive the output and remote controls through the cable already in the house? What options might I be missing?
Thanks,
Craig
