    I have a question about this multiroom viewing... I'm thinking about upgrading my DirecTV stuff. I get that they operate on the network, but how compatible are they going to be? Can I just plug em into an 802.11n WAP and they resolve themselves on the DNS? Speaking from years of tortuous...

    Use my old big dish cabling?

    I think a point of confusion on my diagram is that this upload doesn't say "LIVING ROOM" above the big box on the right-middle. All that junk is screwed into the wall behind my entertainment center. S&S is the old sat rcvr, DTV is the DTV rcvr, and DSC is the HD converter for the ANT signal...

Right now they terminate in the living room behind the TV where they used to connect...

    Use my old big dish cabling?

    Hello! In 1991 when my house was built, it was originally cabled with a big dish setup. One main receiver (General Instrument Video Cipher II Plus 2400R) was used to manipulate the dish and send signal to 7 rooms in the house. Those original cables still come into the house in a thick bundle...
