Installer is coming at 8am tomorrow to upgrade me to HR20, from R10.

I installed the first dish myself - and used a satellite cable install kit from RCA.

The cable it contained is marked as follows:

Belden YV44459 Duobond II 75 ohm Series 6 1C18 E108998 CATV or CM or CM PY

Is this cable OK for the additional requirements of HD?

What I have has worked great for my SD Directv signals.

Thanks.

I did a quick search (i do mean quick) and didn't get any hits. Depending on what shape the cable and connectors are in, and the length- I think it will work.
Considering your install is tomorrow, you may not have much of a choice unless you want to do it yourself afterwards.

But if it all possible I would see if the installer will replace it.

Good Luck.

Since you used an RCA Satellite self install kit Im sure it's the right cable(RG6).
