man if you do some research this is very easy to do. and once you do it once,then you will be able to run wire all over when ever you want to run new wire for another stb.

Use RG6 Sat Cable.

Do you have all of the tools needed to do the job correctly. If not, its really not worth your time.

RG-6 is worth the little extra money, but that's neither here nor there just be careful. I don't like to draw a lot of attention to what i'm doing unless I know someone vary well. Good Luck Bro! AS for $ name your price.

Yea RG6 is just a better quality cable all the way around.

**tomcat01** · February 5th, 2009

it is almost the same but rg6 is for satellite it has a larger core which will give you a better signal and a better pic .. especially ata longer distance .. do not use rg5 it really for cable ..

almost all cable companies are using rg6 now too for a better connection you can do it all yourself it is easy just run it and get good f connectors too

reilly2106 · February 5th, 2009

He already has all the rg56 caable he wants it ran from satellite to 2nd reciver so do I just run it and put the ends on are the end hard to put on and anyone got an idea how much to charge

**asg** · February 5th, 2009

its up to u buddy how much$$$ to charge

**snakebite** · February 5th, 2009

you need wire strippers and a crimping tool (a must) they go for about 20-30 dallars and for price it depends on if you have to run it through house or does it have hookups in the house already from previous set up.if you just have to run from dish to where it goes into house not as bad ,and it would be around 100 bucks.

I get a standard "donation" for installs...$50 per stb...$50 for a Dish....$50 for multiroom cable....=) (all include a general tutorial on puter setup and "maintaining operation")

**peggy13** · February 5th, 2009

Not sure how well you know this person, but you should at least mention the fact that he will get a better connection with the upgraded cable. You install the other and the pic is not very good, he may blame you....just a thought.

Good luck and be careful.
