Is cable television harder to set up in an apartment than a house?

It all depends on the landlord. The process of installation is basically the same, but it all comes down to whether or not your landlord wants holes drilled into his building. Now most apartments already have a cable terminal that routes the cable directly to each apartment with separate ports allowing the cable companies to bill each apartment accordingly. You simply need to talk it over with your landlord and find out what the cable options are for that building.


How do you convert old electrical wiring in an apartment to new electrical?

lol you take all the old cable out of the wall and replace it with new nm cable. It requires each wall to be tore out. Why would you want to replace all the wiring unless you were remodeling the whole apartment. Some of the old wiring if not too old is better than the new nm cable. Just convert your fuse bus panel to a breaker service and your set.
