I'm building my new home thru a builder. I would like to have TIVO or
similar service at my new home... Do I have to get cabeling done some
specific way in order to record separate chanel than the one I'm
watching?

As far as I understand, if I subscribe to Dish Network/Direct TV/Cable
, connection to TIVO box needs to go out of receiver box provided by
vendor for decryption of transmission..So unless I have two tuner in
TIVO/DVR, or I record already decrypted transmission, I won't be able
to record the chanel I'm not currently watching .. Correct!!

Low voltage contractor from Builder offered my structured wiring option
to do that but I'm still not convinced... Can structure wiring help me
in this area?

What other benefits structure wiring give me other that centralized
management.. Does it improve the quality of signal of Cable or
Telephone in any way?


Please advise..
