To all-
My wife and I just built our home 3 years ago. I'm an EE so when the home was being built I pulled my own wiring. In the basement, I install a Leviton Network Structured Wiring system and inside the box I installed CAT5e, RG6U, audio, phone, wireless, etc., two wall boxes in every room. Furthermore, to pull this off I'm already using a Linksys DSL switch router plus another Linksys switch to get wires to every part of the home. With that said, how much of the existing wiring can I use for U-verse? I want to have the lease amount of disturbance in my existing system as possible.
In my opinion, and from what I've read so-far, the technician will probably kiss me (hope its a chick!) when he or she sees my set up.
Also, when it's complete, will I be able to connect my STB to the wall jack and my home computer, etc. at the same time?
And, do I need my STB locally by my TV or can I mount it downstairs and connect an Ethernet cable directly to the back of my TV? I would like to have the least amount of equipment locally in plain view.
Thanks for the support.
Regards,
David
