Anyone get DECA installed yet? Will they run wires?

I'm having someone come out tonight to setup my Whole-Home DVR service with a DECA system.  My concern is the room with my router already has the COAX consumed by cable for the internet connection.  Will the installer run another cable to that room?  If so, any ideas what methods he'll use?  The room is on the opposite side of my house, and I'd hate an external run from the front to the back.

If it is handled like a typical installation I'd assue they would 'house wrap' a new cable as part of the installation or charge extra for things like wall fishing to run the cable another way.

It's the same as any other standard install. They will get the cable to that room and most likely on the outside of the home and through the wall into that room with your router. If you want cable fishing in walls etc.... that will be custom work for which the tech will more then likely charge. All you can do is ask when he gets there!

Since it's a late install, maybe I'll just offer him a beer.  🙂

 

Thanks for the info.  I guess if he wraps it around the house near the roofline it won't be much of an issue.  We'll see what he says.
