Coax or Cat5
We had Uverse TV and cancelled it. Now we are considering getting Uverse TV again with one or two STB's. The coax cable, AT&T splitters and connectors are still in place. Does the installer still have the option of using existing coax or must cat5 cables now be used?
If I wanted the installer to run cat5 cable from the RG to an Home Theater System, how would I order that and how much would I be charged?

One thing that does make a difference is - keep a path to the RG for video and one for internet access. If you mix video and internet on the same path/switch it may flood the switch. This forces at least two cat5 cable from the location to the RG. Then you have to decide if you want more cables, one or two switches.

Yes. It's auto-uplink enabled, so it will detect which one of the ports is providing uplink data. (Out of habit, I always do port 1 or 8.)

If you were a new customer, you would not get an iNID. You would have a Cat5e home run installed between your NID and your RG, and both pair would run from the VRAD, through your NID, to a Motorola NVG 589 RG which would handle the pair bonded VDSL2 connection.
If there isn't a problem with your current equipment, I don't know that they would want to replace stuff that's working.
It's a good question. I hope my thoughts wanders through and can give a more informed, but still personal, opinion on this.

My Thoughts,
Can a cat 5 cable be run to a TV without an STB? To connect an internet device such as an Apple TV or Home Theater Receiver?
