Television move

[thesquare]

Looking for a recommendation for someone to move CenturyLlnk cable box from one side of the living room to the other and install it to a new TV. The modem and router will stay on the existing side of the room.

Do yourself a favor cut the cable and go with YouTube we did , kept phone line, and computer line.

Have you considered using WiFi for your TV. The CenturyLink box should be able to connect to your router. If not, then maybe a new box needed.

There is an yellow ethernet cable connected to the modem , what's that for??

I did not think Century Link did TV any longer - only phone and internet - that was what they told me when they said I would need to go to Direct TV if I stayed with them 2 years ago - I went to Comcast and everything is much better than before.

If you have the BNC outlet you can just move the cable, and likely then need to make sure that this outlet is live. This wiring is outside at my house and the Centurylink tech or any TV tech can set this up. Independent TV sales places usually have one.

If you don’t have the BNC outlet then one would have to be installed. Again the independent TV tech might also do this. Also the Centurylink person.

I have gone to YouTubeTV, uses WIFi instead of cables. It is likely that Centurylink which has combined with Directv, and they have a streaming service Directv Now, so you might be able to use WIFi if the new TV has WIFi.

My CenturyLink system has two boxes, one for the incoming fiber optic to be converted to electricity, and this is connected to other which is the WIFI router. These two are close together usually, they are connected by an ethernet cable, and my cable happens to be yellow, but they can be other colors. Separately when I had CenturyLink TV, there was a small box that plugged into the wall via the round Cable, called a BNC cable. The small box takes the cable signal, unscrambles it, often times has the Digital Video Recorder equipment, and sends video to the TV. The WiFI router also has a port to connect your computer directly, also an ethernet port. I don't have the small box for the TV anymore, but it might also have other ports, other ones than the video wires to the TV.

Call Century Link and have their tech come out these guys know their stuff and will set you up correctly ,recently had a internet issue and they completely updated and removed unneeded equipment.

Switch to streaming. No boxes!

[matandch]

I agree. Go to streaming or try an attic antenna or both. I do both. I get 63 OTA channels then supplement with Sling TV for $30/mo and 40 more channels. It’s fantastic! For some people the OTA channels may be enough and they’re FREE!

CenturyLink offers wireless cable boxes. Call them and see what it would cost to convert ! Might be cheaper that having an additional outlet installed.

CenturyLink is a nightmare! Get out of your contract ASAP! They raised my rates constantly and pushed for a dish. No way! I’m with Comcast now and at least I don’t have to call them every month regarding a price hike. I will be cutting the cord as soon as I’m out if contract in a few months. I wish Verizon had FIOS here. They were the best.

What I have is the yellow ethernet cable going from the modem directly to the CenturyLink Prism box. There's two other wires coming out of the wall to the modem. We want to move ONLY the prism box to the other side of the room and connect it to our new TV. The CenturyLink box only has three wires going in it . 1. power 2. HDMI cable and 3. the ethernet cable . I would need some one to run the ethernet cable up the existing wall from the modem ,across the ceiling and down the wall on the other side and attach it to the CentuyLink box.

If your TV is a “smart TV” you can connect a router to the Century Link home run location and stream the TV signal using wi-fi. I’d suggest going further and installing a “mesh point” system to extend the range of the wi-fi signal throughout the house.

Visit Best Buy and have one of their techs explain the mesh point systems to you. There are several brands being sold at Best Buy.

I described wireless streaming of your TV signal in another post in this thread. If you choose to use a wired connection, pulling an Ethernet cable from the Century Link home run up a wall, through your attic, and down thru the wall near your TV is not at all difficult. An electrician could do it, or even a handyman.

[rogerk]

Any reliable electrician can "move" your cable connection. It is not cheap but who wants to crawl around in the attic. Some of the other options/suggestions might be an option. I have Xfinity for cable and internet; it is reliable, the internet speed is amazing, but it is expensive.

This is not the correct number for this service. It was a Tom but he doesn't provide the above mentioned service.

What TV does Century Link provide for you? I've had Century Link internet since 2011 and the price has been guaranteed for life and I've only had one outage in 9 years, and only lasted a couple of hours. I've had Directv since 2008 but inquired about their Prism TV a couple of years ago and they said they stopped Prism TV as of 2018, I heard they had too many drop outs and pixelizations, and said they only offer Directv, which of course I already had.
