The coaxial cable for cable tv that goes to my second floor tvs needs
to be replaced. The coax cable somehow runs up onto my roof, through the attic, and then connects to a splitter in the attic. The cable is hidden in some places and runs through small holes. The cable company told me it would cost me a lot if they replaced it. After the lousy service I've had from them in the past and the fact that they step on the ducts running through the attic, I'd actually prefer to replace this cable myself. How difficult would it be for me to replace this cable? It looks fairly easy except for in the few places it's hidden along with the fact that I don't know how to get it through some of the holes. I figure they must use some special device for running it through the holes in the walls. I think I can get my father to help with this project. I'd just like to know how hard it would be and what kind of tools I'd need. I also don't want to remove the existing cable until I can get the new one in. I don't know if two coax cables will fit through the holes. Any thoughts? |
