Re: [DIRECTV] Self Installation Direct TV Help and Questions

Run high quality RG6 from each desired location to a central 'distribution point' in or outside your home. If a multiswitch is required (in your case it should not be) DirecTV will install it at the location you ran the cables to. If it's not required, they'll hook up the downleads from the dish to your cables.

If you're running cable, it wouldn't be a bad idea to run CAT5e or CAT6 to the same locations - should you want to use the networking functionality that's becoming more prevalent in the receivers. (Just a thought !)
