That sounds right, but I have asked in other threads
about the cabling for this and nobody seems to
know. The new dish comes with a multiswitch with
four outputs, but it looks like more than four
cables would have to go directly from the LNBs
to a multiswitch with more than four outputs...and
does the new dish allow direct access to all of
the different cables so they can be extended down
into the house? In other word, how many cables
would be needed and can it even be done?
I'll tell you one thing. If it takes more than one RG-6 I'll be extremely upset. I just put new siding on my house. In the process I put all the wires in the walls, including an access panel for the box that was on the outside. The RG-6 runs from the box thru the studs and down in to the basement. To run any more wires would be nearly impossible. Unless I ran it on top of the siding of course.
I know what everyone is thinking. Why didn't I run it in emt or pvc. Well, I just didn't think of it at the time.
