Old Home, New Installation
Hello,
We are looking to have DirecTV installed in an older home. Right now it has what I assume to be RG59 cable (although I didn't see any writing on the outside) so that will have to be replaced. We are thinking about getting 1 HD DVR, 1 HD, and 2 SD receivers. We have a fairly spacious attic and don't want our house to be wrapped in wiring so I am wondering about our options. One of our TVs is on the interior wall so an exterior entrance isn't possible anyways. Is it possible to have a DirecTV installer come in and let us run the wires in the attic for them since it seems they want to charge extra for attic installations? Because there is existing wire in the house we figured we could probably attach the new wire or a string to the old wire and pull it up so it could still be routed through the walls. We also figured we could route networking wires that way at the same time as well. Suggestions?
