|  How do the connections work?
I just moved into a new place and would like to switch to ATT for TV/DVR. I already have ATT DSL. Currently using Comcast, I need to locate my TV near the coax connection (the coax connectors are in really poor locations  ). Will I have the same restriction on location using ATT?
From reading the posts, it sounds like using the whole-house DVR would give me more options. Could I put the TV and DVR separated from the set top (STB) as long as they are near a CAT5 outlet? In other words, only the STB needs to be located near the coax outlet. The TV and DVR are only connected to a CAT5 outlet.
Am I understanding this correctly? |

1 edit | The TV boxes can be hooked up with either RG6 which leaves all 4 open ethernet ports on the gateway open for any wired ethernet devices.
Or you can use Cat5 for up to 4 boxes to the 4 ethernet ports on the back of the gateway.
The regular STB's and the DVR are the same as far as how they can be hooked up, RG6 or Cat5.
I currently have 3 computers and a Linksys PAP2 VOIP phone adapter wired to my RG and all 3 of my TV's are using RG6 comcast installed over 2 years ago when we had their service. |
