hogsnc Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I know a lot of you have direct TV, so my question is about hooking up the system to existing cable? My house was wired for a central location and then it splits to the different rooms from there. Can the dish connect at the same point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Depends on the quality of wiring. In my house, the wiring was not a high enough grade, so they ran new line. It shouldn't matter though, Direct TV does free installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMac Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 DirecTV does the free installation and you would be better off letting them put in the wire they have since its to their standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 My grilfriend got Direct TV last week (no, nfl sunday ticket, though) and they put their wires down under the carpet. I hardly noitice them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogsnc Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Thanks, I guess if it is free installation then why worry about it. I have wood floors so i have no places to hide wiring I just didn't want a lot of holes drilled through the floors and stuff again thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKurp Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Look at the writing on the cable. If it says RG59, you'll need to run new wiring. If it says RG6, the installers can use the existing cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
