I currently have a DirecTivo connected to a 32" TV, but I am planning on getting a 42" HDTV projection TV.
I know that I need to get a DirecTV HD receiver and Antenna for the local OTA, but I would like to still TIVO standard definition programming from the Dish and have a second TV with a regular receiver. I have a 2 x 8 multiswitch already. How would i run the cables, since I think for HD from DirecTV has 3 cables. Does one of the cables run directly into the HD Receiver and the other two work like before with the multiswitch with 2 cables into the multiswitch and the 2 into the Tivo and 1 into the other TV.
Also, does anyone have suggestions on how to run the cables from the back of my house to the front where the TV will be located without running along the floor boards or ripping up the floor, ceiling or walls.
Thanks
Todd
