I just told him it was an extender that went directly to the TV and "showed him" No reason the cable monkey needs to walk around the house and see the TV's and if he asks just say the TV is for the built in "smart functions" only. No need to get technical with him. Just point to point extenders!
If this is the case going forward with stupid monkeys we should just run a coax during pre-wire to behind the TV and have it hanging down with an HDMI then move the box after the monkey leaves.
