HDTV and Home Theater Podcast - Podcast #527: The Hopper by Dish

[arad]

Sometimes it’s OK to arrive fashionably late. It doesn’t always matter when you arrive to the party, what matters is what you bring with you when you get there. Dish Network has proven that waiting can pay off. Their recent entry into whole home DVR, the Hopper, brings some pretty cool features to the party.

This may get me to switch from D* as the slow switching performance on Direct's receivers is terrible. However, I have a tech question that hopefully someone knows the answer to.

When I tried to switch once before Dish wouldn't install because I insisted on using the original RG59 cable to connect the 2nd DVR, which was located in the far bedroom. They said the data current was too intense and would overheat the cable, leading to an eventual failure of the line. The RG6 cable they wanted to use required cabling outside our townhome and would have been an eyesore my wife wouldn't live with.

Any thoughts?
