John--I will check Lowes and Home Depot-Local Frys has the panel I listed for less than anywhere I can find online
[quote bruceko]So if I understand right you have 3 sat boxes? If so you will need a2 x 4 or 4 x 8 multi switch. Actually 4 boxes and the signal from 1 or 2 of the boxes will serve 2 TV's via Coax.
[quote bruceko]Most of the structured media boxes don't really have much for satallite.
I would suggest if you can run 4 coax from the dish to you closet.
New dishes have a multiswitch built in and four outputs. Thanks--I had no idea on 4, I thought I was safe with 2
[quote bruceko]You can check out smarthome for cabinets but they tend to be more expensive than some other sites.
You might want to throw in a HDMI cable to the three tv locations if they are less than 33' from your cabinet. At some point all the drm crap will limit the output resolution of component. I thought it was HDMI that was getting locked down by DRM. Do the newer non HD Satellite boxes use HDMI?
Thanks for the info--I will read up on this more--and anymore info is surely appreciated.
