Whole house HDDVR

I am currently remodeling my living room and TV room. Wondering what wiring I need to run for whole house DVR system. Also have TV in kitchen right now that is SD, but will upgrade to HD in future.  Currently have 2 RG-6 cables going to HDDVR in TV room, 1 RG-6 into living room.

 

Thanks

No new cabling is needed for WHDVR service. The networking that connects together your DVRs and Receivers uses the existing satellite coax cables.  And with the Single Wire Multiswitch dish that you'll get, only one cable will now feed both DVR tuners.  The only new cable that *might* be needed is a satellite coax cable to a location near your home network gateway/router for internet access.
