New Cable Wire for Dish Network

Im in the beginning stages of planning to build my own house, and was wondering what type of cable I need to run from my Dish Satellite to the box? It will be for HD. I know they come and put it in, but trying to get it to where I can put all the wires in the wall for everything before the sheetrock goes on.

RG6/U will work just fine for your application. While it's over kill I would probally use quad shield RG6 for that added piece of mind (and a slightly higher cost). But either should work fine.

Here is where you can purchase all of the high quality RG6 you might need - http://www.monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=rg6&x=0&y=0

Dish is a "special case" as regards coax.

The system requires that you use "rated" coax; meaning that the cable is "rated" to perform up to 2150 mHz;
most coax is "typically" speced to perform up to 1000 mHz (1 gHz).

RG6 "rated" for 3000 mHz (3 gHz) is available at a slight premium over standard RG6;
so you would do well to install with the extra margin.

If your down to studs I hope your running all your cables. You may want to think about runnning cat 5 or cat 6 cable the same area as you coax cables just in case. I know cable in my area is swithing to this now for all the cable box conetions.

Thanks for all the info. And yes....I will be running all cables and wires while the studs are exposed.

If you must cross any electrical wiring, make sure to do so at 90 degree angles to prevent line noise...

Can you expand on this? I think I know what you mean, but just want to make sure.

Make a cross when going over electrical wires, don't run parallel.

Thats what I thought you meant. What if you are going to the same area? How much distance should you keep between wires?

6" or so.
