[kwlug-disc] OT:Cable Splitters/Rogers

[unsolicited]

3 LNB dish? Or dual?

If 3, makes sense, home runs / no signal loss dish to TV (box).

Otherwise, you have somewhat of a point, split (the once) inside the 
house, not outside. (Satellite can be split?)

Let alone, easier to get a cable to a floor outside, than inside. (Up 
through floor, hope you don't run into electrical, and so on. Avoided by 
entering a room horizontally.)

They get paid per job, not for aesthetics, so unless you get cranky, 
they install in the quickest / easiest fashion, for them. (Not you.) 
 From what I have encountered, this has more to do with how they're paid 
/ understandable, and stems from the payer (Rogers) - payment not for 
esthetics but for making a customer go away. Let alone they get beat up 
if they don't get one more service call in per day. Less time at your 
place, maybe they can get another call in. Or knock off early that day.

Andrew K's note about signal loss / interference could also answer why 3 
holes in house, not a single hole with 3 cables going through it.
