Just wanted to start off by saying - thanks again for all the great help from this forum.
My new question is how to pre-wire for a satellite dish. My brother new construction house is in the country. No cable lines or FIOS in the area yet. So he will probably resort to DishNetwork or DirectTV for TV. And maybe dial-up, DSL (doubt it is offered in area), or Satellite connection for Internet access.
I am not familiar with satellite setups - as I have always been a Comcast cable customer.
I have read that for most satellites need 4xRG6QS run from the dish to the distribution panel. I have seen the distribution boxes which convert the 4 dish feeds into the homes cable system (http://www.automatedoutlet.com/product.php?productid=1002&cat=114&page=1).
What would be the optimal location to run the wires to (dish location)?
What hardware does the dish comapny provide? dish and distribution box?
Should I run more than 4 coax lines to dish?
How do they handle internet over dish?
I plan to call DirectTV later today and see what I can figure out via their customer service.
Thanks in advance
