My buddy is remodeling his house and asked me to wire it up "for the future". Just wanna make sure I am not forgetting anything. I'm actually pretty excited about doing this.
He currently has DTV but MAY switch to Dish shortly. My plan is to find a location for both Dish and Direct TV install. (basically a eastern and western arc dish install)
TV& Media
-RG6 to each room, in multiple locations; all ran to the breaker box location
-Speaker wire ran to install 7.1 surround (all suspended from the ceiling with the exception of the sub of course)
-Dual line RG6 w/ ground (x2) from satellite dish location to breaker box location
Internet & Networking
-ISP modem in closet; RG6 from closet location to outside pole drop
-router that he chooses; nothing real fancy
-CAT5 from router location to each RG6 drop location
-a few CAT5 lines from breaker box location to modem location in closet
Security
-8 channel video surveillance system
-all cables ran to closet with ISP modem and surveillance HD
Other
-The closet that will house the modem/router and security system/HD will have 6 outlets, all on its own breaker. The theater install location will also be on this breaker which will be surge protected
-Chases will be ran; one from the breaker box to the closet that will house the internet/surveillance system, one from the breaker box area to the back side of the home for future cable coming into the house
=====================================================
Really, I can't think of much more that we can do. Any input will be much appreciated.
