Newbie Question

[JL6267]

My installation is scheduled for this coming Saturday.
My question is; Will the installer be running the cable from the basement, (where dish cable comes in) to the 2nd floor where the receivers are??

Sorry for the dumb question.

More than likely the installer will run the cables from the dish cable in the basement. By law all cable have to be hooked to a ground block first which is most likely in your basement. Hope this ansers your question.

Thanks, you did answer my question. I just wasn't sure how they would run the cable from the basement to the 2nd floor, with the walls being finished.

I don't know how they would do it, but they have done it plenty of times. Most likely they will snake it through the walls, but I am not a installer so I don't know.

Do a little homework and see if you can determine how the cables might be run. For example, there may be a drain vent pipe run from basement to upper floor. There could be enough space in there to run a cable.
