Hey everyone,
I am building a new home and want to make sure to have my house wired properly for satellite now rather than after the home is built. I want to slave one television to another so that I can have one satellite box that runs 2 TVs that are in areas next to each other (like mater bedroom and master bath). The builder already wired the house with cable for the proper rooms. Now to wire the 2 areas to slave one TV to another here is the question....Do I have them run another Cat5 cable between the 2 TVs that will be slaved together so that I have the Cat5 that is with the whole house wiring then I have a Cat5 between the 2 TVs being slaved together? I think that is correct but my builder had never heard of slaving TVs. I want to get expert advise so that when my builder gets data from his source I know he is correct. I had Directv do the slaving last time I built after the fact and they made a huge mess of it and charged me a fortune.
Thank you so much.
