James.....my buddy and I are going to wire my nephews new house. He currently has 3 222's but wants all hi-def. He isbuilding a 5 bedroom home and looking at possibly 12 t.v.s. I've been out of the Dish seen for awhile and have heard about the wallies. He us not interested in dvr at all. His tv room will off course have the projector and 2 other flat screens. Are the wallies a good option for this confuguration?? We are going to run hdmi over cat6.
Wallys are simple receivers. If all he wants is watch live tv it should work for him. He would need the DPH42 switch and could connect up to 8 Wallys per output on the switch (similar to DIRECTV's SWiM). For best results all cable should be RG6.
Is he thinking of installing all of the receivers in one room then running HDMI over Ethernet to the actual TVs?

The better idea is to put the receiver in each room with the TV. I'd still want to run home run CAT6 as well as the RG6 home run ( to the same wiring closet with power in it).
