Brand new to the satellite world. So excuse all the questions. Just don't want to get screwed and want to get everything set up right.
We live in a loft that has an intregrated home networking system. So we're planning on running the coax from the dish to the networking box and then using the existing cable jacks to run to the tivo/receivers. We want it in two rooms. One room is just a regular receiver and one room in an integrated DirecTivo unit. The installer mentioned that in order to record one thing and watch something else different at the same time on the integrated unit, he'd need to run two lines to the DirecTivo. We can use the existing cable jack for one of these two, but the second he's talking about drilling a hole in the wall and running wire across our house and to the DirecTivo for the second line. Is this really our only option? I'm not a fan of that option at this point. The other tv sounds like its not a problem. Just run the cord from the cable jack in that room to the standard receiver.
Also, what's the deal with grounding? What should I look for / require be done?
Also, is it typical that an under-eave mount will run you an additional $75?
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!
