Cabling a dual LNB system

[jackass_llama]

I just bought a DirecTivo recently to replace my current system of a SA tivo + an RCA 5th Gen IRD. I only have one cable running from my dish currently and I'm looking to hook up the other LNB. Is there a special dual-coax cable I should use or did most of you just run two independant cables?

Thanks

Just run another cable. There is no special cable that you will get any benefits from. Just make sure you use RG-6 Cable.

you'll need two cables to use the two tuner feature of a directivo. If you continue to use the RCA you will need a multiswitch to send two cables to directivo and one to the RCA

First,
There are dual RG-6 cables called "Siamese" which are easily found at online dealers who sell cables. This may simplify your cable pulling. This is a dual RG-6 cable which can be split into two seperate cables at the appropriate location.

Second you may want to peruse this thread about splitting LNB signals.

Hope this helps:
