Okay so I got DirecTV set up in 3 rooms of my house due to a spouse moving out and me changing ISP's for faster downloads and what not. I am wanting to move the new ISP / modem into the room connected to the outlet where the DirecTV is set to.

Question I got is, will the TWC installer be able to set up the internet in that cable outlet? Or will I have to contact DirecTV and arrange for them to come out to reset the wiring for that outlet before TWC comes and does their thing.

I am quite a noob when it comes to this. There was no information regarding this on the checkout site for when I purchased the set up for my new ISP (TWC). Mainly hoping someone here knows if I'm good as is, or need to arrange DirecTV to come out. Better prepared than sorry :)

Thanks
 
Satellite and cable service can share the same coax line. I have Dish Network and comcast internet on the same line. However, you will need 2 diplexers to do this. One at the beginning to combine signals and one at the end to separate the signals. Your cable service should have these on their trucks.
