The problem with satellite is that they can use TIVO, which uses two tuners, so they need two RG6, and then catv, which would use 1 RG6, the 4th would be a spare in case you wanted to send the satellite signal to another TV with one set top box... hope this helps...
Same here. My DTV dual-tuner TiVo's haven't had a phone connection since I installed them. The one here in my office says that it hasn't mad a successful call 468 days.stickboy1375 said:FYI, a phone connection is NOT required for satellite, it's just another "BIG BROTHER" scenario ... I refuse to hook mine up...
I've heard there is a mandate out there for all companies to have HDTV available by...2010? Some time in the near future.In my area you can only get HDTV through sattelite.

Broadcast TV has not had an upgrade in over 50 years, the LV guru in my area was all abuzz about the news.

What kind of house is it? Tract home, custom?
About the max I ever installed was 2 x RG-6 and 2 x Cat-5e to each location.
