Add another coax

As posted on another site. Anyone out there know how to run a coax cable to the entertainment center? I've been using a Dish 500 and now want to use a 625 receiver. The problem is I need another cable from the dome to the receiver. I can get the coax from the dome to the outside shower area, but how from there? I can see that there is a bunch of cables going into the bottom of the slide out, up to the TV. Does the cable run under the kitchen cabinets, or in the island? I would like to follow the satellite cable from the dome, if possible.

Run the coax down the vent tube , it will come out around the fuse box , then you can fish it into the basemen and out the bottom .
Then take it over to the bundle that enters the entertainment area and fish it up into the tv area.

At least that is the way I did mine.

Good Luck

Our 2006 ES 36TK3 had a chase at the bottom of the dining slide. The Dealer Tech is the one who made us aware of it. He ran 2 cables for our Hughes Satellite Dish from the rear compartment to the middle of the dining table right next to the plug.

I would imagine that a similiar chase is also on the kitchen/entertainment slide.

We had DRV run wires while building our 2009 MS, but then eliminated the HNet Dish. So we now have the ability to have TV on the dining room table. This is where our desktop sits. We've never hooked up a dish outside to test it out.

I do plan to run the coax alongside the vent tube. That's the way the installer did it. That way I can get it down to the basement area. It could be possible to route the cable under the bottom to the cable bundle next to the slide.
