Quality cable coax demarcation/termination box?

[chrispyny]

I have a house which has all three major providers terminating on the side of my house.
Verizon for local dialtone/dsl. (Has its own demarc box)

Directv (dish on roof with coax running down house i to a small mess on side of house)

Time Warner Cable now called Spectrum (no demarc, just messy weatherproof coax ends and splitters again on side of house.

My goal is to clean up and enclose any and all coax terminations into a box. Now, i happen to be a field tech for a major telco. So i have experience in running coax, fiber, ethernet and jack wire. The telco side of things has been well cared for and cleaned up when i bought the house. It is terminated properly and cleanly installed at the side of my house.
The coax from both time warner and directv are however another thing. I would like to terminate any and all splitters, coax runs, etc into a clean, weather proof, proper looking termination enclosure. I see several options like:

I would like to know from those who have installed these before, which box is easiest to work with, install, has appropriate pass throughs, and will be most appropriate for my application i described.
I will be doing all the work myself. i am doing this prior to running coax and ethernet through out my attic and sending drops down to each bedroom at the far side of the house. Currently the house isn't wired for coax/data ANYWHERE on the far side of the house where bedrooms are.

Thank you all.

I should add that i am looking for a large or xl box, and would consider using conduit with LB's etc as i have to run a main coax strait up my wall into the attic to send branches down to each bedroom. Thanks

I find it cleaner not to have any box at all on the outside. Cables and ground wires all blend in better by themselves. Here for Verizon FIOS they will now run the fiber inside the house so no outside box. A friend of mine used to curse the ugly box so I removed it for her.

I like bringing all of the cables inside as close as you can (basement or attic) and have the splitters, distribution panels, and equipment there. Just keep the grounding/lightning arresters outside.

Where is here.
There are outside ONT's and inside ONT's. It's up to the tech to decide which go up. I know cause, well, thats what i do.

My house is a raised ranch, my 'den' is on the other side of the wall. It's finished space. As much as i wish i could do what you say, it's not an option for me.

SW Pennsylvania. ONTs used to only be outside like NIDs but for the last few years they've been putting them inside basements as well. Looks like they are still the outdoor rated so same hardware. Maybe competing with the cable folks who no longer have an outside box.

I'm in a similar situation and am using the 1500 box and its doing really well. I'm not "off the grid" but am set up for "grid independence", so the telephone or cable company can go to that box, hang whatever garbage they need to, and no one has to see any of it.

The links you posted have pictures of purple boxes. While that may be a lovely color for you, it doesn't work for me. Mine came grey and I found that these were pretty easy to spray paint the color of the house, as well.
