RG-11 for residential? Really? I saw that coming from a pole for relatively short cable feed once, but the only other times I saw it was on C-Band installations.
we do lots of c-band rg-11 is standard in receive sites and at home if it's a long run but some customers do ask for it even on short runs. mind you i do not run the same rg-11 cable we run in a receive site, no home user would pay that much lol, well none that i have met so far.
Next time, please put someone like this in their place.
"Mr. installer. I know your supervisor or someone at training has told you this. But let me tell you, they are full of $hit. What exactly will DirecTV do with the millions & millions of homes not wired with some super high frequency cable? That alone will tell you that the info you have been given is BS. Please never repeat what you are told from them again, unless you tend to make yourself look like an idiot again." "Also, if it's the wrong LNB, why is the system working? Now stop bothering me or I'll really go off on you."

The DirecTV installator and the client were both involved in the call and I wasn't going to light him up within ear shot of the client. I have the installator's cell phone number- I'll pick a time after he's done.
Might be like this-
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
As we are an MDU provider with 1000s of units running swm technology from 32 to 16 to 8s, I will state that I will never allow new units to be wired with anything but solid copper core RG6. Be it Quad or not it does not matter. We have had hundreds of new drops pulled in existing buildings due to swm issues like intermittent signal and lockups. Every time the new scc fixed the issue. I've even had a constant service issue resolved by replacing the 20' ccs drops from the distro to the rack fix a commercial install having multiple receiver issues. I won't say that ccs won't work if properly installed with no prep tool ring, but I will state it cost us thousands of dollars in service calls. If the prep tool is properly maintained and does not ring the copper ccs generally works well. I just don't recommend it.
