The following assumes you will be using a portable satellite and NOT installing a roof mounted version.
Also, I realize that pictures would help tremendously. I PROMISE I'll get some pictures for this post shortly.
Desired Connections:
2 Satellite connections in both the Living Room and Bedroom for Dual Tuner HD DVR.
1 Antenna connection in both the Living Room and Bedroom for HD OTA.
1 Cable connection in the Living Room for Cable Modem.
Requred Parts:
4 - Sat/Cable/Antenna Diplexers
1 - Coax splitter ( 5 to 900 Mhz or higer.. I've seen up to 1100 Mhz )
1 - Keystone 6 port Wall Plate ( You can get away with 4 port, but I wanted room for future expansion.
4 - Keystone F-Connector Coax jack
1 - Right angle F adapter
1 - F Connector Coupler
1 - 10 Pack of Blank inserts (only needed if you have spare ports on your wall plate from above)
Various bits of Coax: Recommend using Quad-Shielded to resist noise from near by power wires.
Multimeter or other continuity testing device.
3/8" Drill bit and drill motor.
Pliers
Key hole saw or similar.
If you want to make up your own coax ( which I did ), check out this Coax compression installer/stripper/cutter set. You'll also need to pick up a length of Quad Shielded coax and appropriate compression fittings.
Location specific instructions follow:
