Yes that's exactly what we did.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would say yes. The coaxial cable is coaxial cable. The only thing I would check and make sure of is if there are any diplexers and or splitters in the lines. You need to have the signal going in the right direction. Multi room set ups the use multi LNB dish will a lot of times have diplexers and or signal combiners along with splitters. If so remove all but the splitter that sends the signal to the different rooms.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, there should not be a problem with using the previous cables.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you may need to eliminate any filters in the system that affect your signals that are common in DISH style setups, replace those with straight through or splitter standard connectors. If you are low on signal at the 3 tv's, pick up an amplifier and connect as instructed. There are 2 routes to go here: Get a signal amplifier to boost at the antenna and hope that boost is enough for all 3 tv's through normal passive splitters. Or assume your signal from the antenna coming in is clean, and boost that signal inside the house to distribute to the multiple TV's. Either way, there are youtube videos explaining easily how these methods are installed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can use the same coaxial cable. However, if there is any hardware left from the DirecTV install you would need to remove it. Any boxes, splitters, combiners, etc. Replace with TV/Cable compliant hardware. Thanks!
