Can I move my TV to another cable outlet for my AT&T Uverse?

I want to move my furniture around and have alother cable outlet on the other side of my living room but I am wondering if it will work. Or usually does the technician only put power to the outlet they used during installation?|||Presumably, you don't have an outlet at the new location already, yes? If so, the simplest option is to retire the present outlet and re-run its connecting cable through the walls to the new location. That's an easy job for a licensed electrician or a do-it-yourselfer with solid experience in such work. You can then connect the U-Verse receiver and it will work as it did before.



Otherwise, you'd need to install a new cable run through the walls, from the U-Verse splitter to the new outlet. Again, if you re-use the splitter port that went to the old outlet (and retire that outlet), no technical work by AT%26amp;T is necessary, providing the new F-fittings are installed on the cable ends with professional quality.



If it was me, I'd have AT%26amp;T do the work whichever way you want to go. That will ensure that the job is done right, and if there are any problems, they'll fix it. The only hangup you might run into is that the AT%26amp;T installer might not do the necessary interior wall wiring that an electrician could easily do. You'll just have to ask.



Whenever you unplug and then re-power a U-Verse receiver, be sure to go through the boot-up procedure shown on the front panel sticker.|||you might be able to if its working





if not you can run the cable outlet to where you want it


just get a connector and some RG6 cable and run it along the floorboards|||Usually they activate only the one they install. You could just take the box to the outlet and see if it works, it's possible it's active.
