Where to buy dual coax cable?

[WillowTheDog]

I'm moving and will be doing my own installation at the new place. I want to use the same white dual coaxial cable that the installers use when hooking up a dual-tuner DirecTivo. Does anyone know where to buy this stuff? I also want to find those plastic bushings they use for the dual cable when going through a hole in the wall.

You can try stores like HomeDepot and others that supply contractors.

Best bet is online or e-bay. This wire normally comes in 500 ft spools. Type you want is the one that comes with a messenger ground wire. Make sure it is RG6 (I think that white color one is RG59, you need RG6 and it normally comes in black). Spool normally lists for about $150 (if you find it in a store), but you can probably get it for around $70-80 online.
You may also want to buy some dual coax wall plates - makes installation look much cleaner and allows you to use short runs of single coax from wall plate to the unit (dual coax is relatively stiff and is a pain to trace to the A/V cabinet).
PM me if you can't find it, I'll try to help you.

Try here for the white dual RG-6:

Stop by a local electrical contractor's office and ask them where they get their cable from. I can get a box of 500' dual RG6 with messenger for less than $50 from the electric supply company here.

Try your local satellite equipment store. Check your local paper or yellow pages if you're not sure. Usually a 500' spool goes for about $55. E.g. here (http://www.incrediblefta.com/dualrg6ulboxusa.php).

I have seen Dual RG-6 at Home Depot, Lowes, & Menard's..

You might also want to check with your local Radio Shack. The last time I purchased it, I picked mine up there..
