I have gone through multiple threads and i'm not able to come to conclusion: Will the DISH NETWORK and FIOS TV operate on the same coax? Dont want to give up FIOS TV but want to have DISH International channels.. Will dish run additional coax if needed? If yes, will they charge and will they hide the wires behind the wall? Will be calling Dish network depending on the answers i get from gurus here...
 
I don't believe you can have Dish and FiOS on the same coax. Dish will wall fish an additional line, but you might have to pay the $50 custom work fee.

yes have tested . tech needs to install 211 on every tv no dual tuners as tv2 cant back feed on the same line as fios is using the same frequncy.


Would need to use a diplexer to feed on the same line then out on the other to feed the box and fios
 
Diplexer would probably work here, however you need to check for SNR Ratio on your FIOS with the diplexer. That may be an issue as it was in my case. I eventually went to separate cables as the SNR would cause intermittent drops on my internet connection causing it to rehandshake.
 

hopper and joey coax input/feed requirements ?

Can you set parental controls on a folder in the DVR?
