My home was wired for cable TV sometimes in the 80's with the black coax. There are a couple of signal boosters in the system as the wiring covers 3 stores. We tried to upgrade our Xfinity/Comcast DVR Box but it didn't work and after 3 days of trouble shooting the tech said it was due to the old wiring running to the house and that we should upgrade the wiring in the house. My question is about rewiring the home with he new cable....I think the coaxial is orange but I'm not sure if this is the current coax in use. Is this something I can buy at Home Depot or Lowes? No radio shack please if I can help it. What is so great about the new coax? It seems to me if I can get DSL over a single pair of twisted copper wires, the cable company should be able to provide ungodly speeds with coax regardless of how old it is. I don't need all the rooms wired but should I just run the coax from the rooms I do use to a central location and tie them in to a splitter. Then have the cable company run a new wire to the splitter?
I'll continue to do some research online regarding this matter but I thought someone may know a bit and could chime in. Thanks for anyone willing to pass along a bit of knowledge.
