the installer is coming today and i was wondering how many separate cables will need to be run into the house from a 3 lnb dish? i already ran one for him but now i'm wondering if that's all that's needed. i am having regular directv service only, no ota, tivo, or HD. sometime down the road (6-12 mos.) i will probably go HDTV tho.


thanks!

You need one cable per tuner with the max being four. If you need more than four tuners, your four cables will run into a 4x8 cascadable multi-switch. Remember, DirecTivos and Ultimate TVs have dual tuners.
