DirecTV and Comcast internet in same room?
Hi all,
My wife and I have read this site for several years hoping that we'd join you in TV eventually. It's happening! We've contracted for a home in Sanibel and are planning to close on June 18. We'll arrive permanently in the last few days of June and we couldn't be more excited. From what the movers say we're part of a mass migration from Virginia Beach to TV. :-) Golf cart is on order as well!
I've been frustrated with cable television viewing the pay sports packages. None of them are HD and the blackouts are unreasonable. Friends who have DirecTV say that those issues are much less prevalent so I plan to take the plunge. Our home is new and is pre-wired for cable and phone, and all the bedrooms and the den have pre-wired connections on two walls.
I don't plan to use DirecTV for internet service, and thought I'd get Comast for internet and phone. I've asked this question of my real estate agent, a friend who has DirecTV and the Villages rep for Comcast, and none of them knew the answer. The question is: Given the pre-wiring and the fact of two connections, can I have DirecTV in the room that will house the Comcast internet service? I'm thinking that splitters can make this possible, but I'm not sure.
If anyone knows the answer, I'd sure like to hear it. And thanks for all the tips we've gotten over the years. We'll join you in about a month!
