It is SOP to replace all of the cable, splitters, etc when I move anywhere, and I am lucky if I don't have to rewire the place. And I have installed all three of the dish systems I have had.
I could tell you some stories , before the nimrods at the cable company figured out that
a "service rep"(high school dropout) delivering a box to everybody was a waste and let people start picking them up, I saw some doozies, best was this guy who insisted on hooking my new DVR up to channel three!
Of course after he left I hooked it up properly.
I try to handle as much tech as I can , thats why I build my own computers.
