Dropping a line in a bedroom

Will the directv installer be able to drop a line in different bedrooms?  The coax hook up is on a different wall.

Yes. Installation includes bringing a line into each room that we are providing service. This can be done several ways (bringing a line down inside the wall from the attic, from the outside of the home, or from another room). Sometimes lines cannot be run inside the walls from the attic (it is an exterior wall, attic access does not permit, or temperature).

You may be able to get wireless clients. The main genie will have a line run to it from the satellite but the smaller boxes will not. A one time upgrade charge of $99 will be added to the order for the wireless video bridge if you go this route. I use this option at home for my clients because I cannot wall fish lines where I live and don't like the look of cables everywhere. Usually, if the tech has the wireless equipment with them, they can modify the order to wireless on site if you want.
