So I made a post a bit back about a new house I was moving into that had a "prewired" satellite setup. Pre-wired is in quotes because I finally know what my setup is.
First off, I have a dish 500 with quad lnb (not pro)(this is all I know about the dish itself), I currently have 3 cables hooked up, but want to use the 4th now as well . The satellite box on the exterior of the house has 2 RG6 cable preruns that run to a central box in one of my closets. From that closet, I have access to single RG6 cable runs all throughout the house.
The builder seems to think that all I need is to somehow run the 2 RG6's from my satellite to the closet, where I can install some switches (?) that input the 2 cables coming from the satellite dish, and output to cable runs that go to every room in the house (with a receiver in every room that I want satellite in of course). I am not familiar with this setup, as I am used to running direct runs from the dish straight to each receiver.
The builder didn't seem to confident in what he was saying, which is why I am coming here. Can anyone help me with what possible switches I would need if this is in fact a possibility for me? I also would need some advice on where to buy this stuff (preferably local dealers, but online works too).
Again, Thanks in advance for the help!!!
