HDTV conversion question for DirecTV customers.

icehog3 · 12-14-2011, 08:43 PM

I have a standard definition TV with a standard box in the bedroom.

I have High Def in the basement, and therefore have the HD satellite dish from DirecTV.

I bought another HDTV for the bedroom. Can I order the HD box from DirecTV and just hook it up to the current wire (along with the necessary HD TV attachments), or do I need a different wire run to the bedroom?

I couldn't find the definitive answer on their website, although they imply that I can. Tried calling, held 15 minutes and was cut off.

Anyone definitively know the answer? Thanks for any help. I am off to hockey, I will check reponses and answer any follow up questions later.
