    Default Need a Satalite/Cable Install

    hey all is there anyone that can help me out and run a satalite cable down a two story interior wall? I have all the cables needed, just don't have the right stuff or knowledge to run it. I can compensate somewhat with some cold hard cash.

    Do you think I can run that up from a drop that comes down outside back up into the attic?

    Should be able to, it's pretty rigid. I used one years ago - back when wireless LANs sucked - to run connections from my cable modem to multiple rooms.

    So does anyone offer a wireless solution for cable / satellite yet?

    I hate to fish wires thought the walls would be sweet if you could move it anywhere in the house!
