I am pre-wiring a new home for Dish Network TV & Internet, and I have a few questions:
1) How many cables and what type of cable do I need to run from the Satellite dish location to the TV location?
2) Do the TV signal & Internet signal use the same cable? If yes then what do I do if the PC is in a different physical location from the TV?
3) I want to do as much as I can before the Dish tech arrives, but I have heard they do not want the homeowner to put the connectors on, if this is not true can you recommend a good connector?
4) Are there any options from Dish to upgrade to a better Satellite dish? I have a lot of weather related drop-outs at my current home.
5) I am thinking of upgrading my receiver to the newest Hopper, however I have read a few bad reviews, any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jim
