Running RG6

RD New member Username: Noybiznatch Post Number: 3 Registered: Sep-08	Posted on Friday, September 19, 2008 - 03:17 GMT I'm going to attempt the install with one other person once I get the receiver & dish. Should I run fresh RG6 to my TV (probably need about 75 ft. or so), or could I feed off the switch that's in my attic (used to have Comcast cable with this)? I.E. - Connect the out on the Diseqc to my existing switch?

You best bet is to run the coaxial cable from your LNB to your receiver. Another choice, if you know what wire in your attic goes to the room you want the TV in, install a 4x1 DiSEqc switch in the attic and connect this wire and the LNB wire to the DiSEqC switch and watch TV.
