this is some really good info. I happen to be in the process of buidk=ling a house and knew that I wanted to have cable and DSS but was not sure how to go about it. I am having the builder wire all the rooms with cable and in the master and living room I am having them install a second jack. One for cable and one for DSS. From what I understand I should be able to get a modulator and then end up with the cable and DSS in all the bedrooms. I would like some more input on how to go about this.
