Im trying to find a HD selector that allows component video in(hd tv) and can select between component as well as composite.. I installed 3 coaxes to my LCD on the wall and stupidly didnt realize my amp wasnt able to handle the HDTV to the component devices.. Thanks in advance, Ryan

NMB 12-2 Is what the customer just told me, i'll get more #'s off it this weekend.

I'll be on the site this weekend and I will grab the writing off the wire.

Wow, ok this one takes all.. The electrician got the electrical inspector to show up as well. This yellow coated wire does provide some form of EMI shielding, if the structured media panel is grounded to its own ground on the other side of the house from the main ground, the EMI wont effect...

True, I just told the homeowner that, hes contacting the electrician and demanding him to show up on site for a walk through.

Not really, I used to do sat. installs for a company. We used RG11 for anything over 100' so we would maintain the signal strength. Its something the Hughes people recommended for the install.
