On 2 rigs I ran 2 coax cables from the receiver to the nearest outside locker where they were connected to barrel connectors - there is no reason to run it to the left back corner of the rig. I also had 150' of dual coax for the dish. This eliminates all mfg installed coax and related issues.
DTV now installs high quality and high bandwidth RG6 cable and connectors. This is a change from older installs and relates to the use of SWM capable receivers. SWM uses ONE coax that can transmit at least 7 HD channels up to 150' and the higher bandwidth demands on the coax are the reason for better quality components.
SWM is the newer technology and we now have the SWM HR44 receiver that can record 5 channels at the same time. We move the receiver from the house to the rig when we travel.
