Have a client at the end of a 3+ year build that was going to use DirecTV and now changing last minute to Dish TV because they are converting from DirecTV to Dish at their primary residence.
I haven't worked with Dish TV in 6-8 years...
Can anyone offer up answers to the questions below to help get me started?
1. What are the cabling requirements from Dish to distribution panel inside the house? Is it a single coax (RG6) or are multiple coax required from dish to distribution point?
2. Any distance limitations on cabling? Distance from dish to inside distribution point will be a minimum of 190ft and then distance from the distribution point out to the farthest receiver is about 180ft (all runs are RG6 quad shield BC).
3. Do the main host box and the client "Joeys" all support 4k?
4. Does Dish TV currently offer any 4K content?
5. Is the little Joey client similar in size to the DirecTV mini client (I have to hide a few of these in wall boxes behind the TVs).
6. Do the Dish TV receivers support IP control, or are they IR only. Control System is URC Total Control so would be nice to know if IP and/or IR control is reliable or finicky.
7. Does the Dish TV Dish point in a similar direction to the Directv dish?
Appreciate an insight or assistance... I'll be digging into this early next week.
