Well, I'm going to use DirecTV's installers; but, I am running all wires, providing ground point and mounting pad.
Question 1: I have four runs of RG6 routed from my basement to the eaves. How should I go through the eave? Simply drill a hole, thread wires and caulk? Or should I use some sort of connector like you see on your load center (fuse box)?
Question 2: The four runs mentioned above are not solid copper. Length of runs is 40'. I need to buy more RG6 for other purposes. I am going to get solid copper. Should I take the time to replace
the primary runs? (If it matters, I going to get HD & DVR)
Question 3: The mounting pad will be a piece of pressure treated wood screwed into 2x6 studs. The dish will be an AT9. How big of a mounting pad does the AT9 require?
Thanks for any help.
