Get that installer back out to install power-passive winegard combiner. (You cannot use the winegard multiswitch as it will not pass all the E* signals) It needs to be a special combiner and Wingard makes one. (If you need one I have some available, you can PM me if you can't find one)...

WOW, your speaker system is insane! Kinda like owing a Ferrari, and you can only drive it on the street in front of your house. :confused: A LITTLE OVERKILL??? Hopefully they came with a steering wheel to drive them into your house!! LOL I'm curious, the room doesn't appear to be very large...

Received from Installs Inc, effective today to cease all VOOM installations and service calls. Anyone that is set beyond today will NOT receive any service calls or installations. More to come later today as to what and if we are to de-install any systems and when. :no :mad:

Chris, Glad to hear it. Those power passive multi-switches are hard to come by, lucky your installer had one, but the diagram will work too for anyone else with a non-power passive OTA switch. FMI, what part of the country are you, and who was the great installer?

No problem.. glad I could help out.. I don't have as much time as you do to monitor all the posts for qusetions, but I used to do this stuff for 15+ years and I'm a level 3 SBCA certified installer, so any time I can help out I will. Keep up the great work you're doing!

Here's what you need to do or have the installer do for your powered OTA, using your non-power passive OTA input multiswitch. Open the PDF and the diagram will show exactly what you need to do. Good luck..

Actually TYORK, Installs Inc has more times than can be counted "pulled" jobs from an installers DOLI account without any notice, so please don't assume the first assigned installers are refusing the jobs in DOLI, and causing these mistakes, that isn't always true. Installs Inc. takes action...

Component / 720p >>>> looks awesome on my Samsung Plasma

To help put some value to all this>>> The current value of a satellite subscriber on anyone of the satellite providers books is approximately $2300+ for each sub for the lifetime of that sub. So, book value of the possible 26k sub's VOOM has would be over $59 million. Now, the hard cost of...

Hey Stone Man, Thanks for inquiring. Makes me feel wanted. :D I check in every once in a while. Didn't see the COLO. thread too often on the first page. Thanks for keeping it ALIVE! Yes, I have been in CALI, most of last and this month, back now for the afternoon thunderstorms...

NO, you cannot use the switch that's built in to your phase 3 triple LNB DTV dish. However, if you ordered more than 2 receivers, then VOOM installer will and is supposed to supply the multiswitch needed.

Call them back out, they are supposed to ground the DISH and OTA mast, also to common ground. The multiswitch is fine to bond to, as long as the multiswitch is itself is grounded to meet local and NEC code. If it is, it will be a very simple thing for the installer to come back and do...

1. DishConnect. 2. Feb 2004. 3. 888-654-3474 4. I think the scheduling center was in OREGON. 5. Have 2 homes. Both done same comp: The Bay Area, CA and Littleton, CO 6. www.dishconnect.com 7. In both cities, 10's). 8. In CO, two guys came out and did a great job, all worked perfect. In...

If The Multiswitch Is Grounded, Your All Good. Because The Ota And Dish Cables Both Are Running Through That Switch. Hopefully The Installer Ran Bond Wires From The Dish Mast And Ota Mast To It.. That You'll Need To Check.

PSB is technically right all the way. Why are your dishes on your fence anyway? :confused: Personally I don't have a real problem with dishes being mounted on newer stable fence post which yours appears to be, it's ok as long as there is no other reasonable location for mounting on the...

Welcome aboard! Just a few ?'s and concerns about the install I see. The diplexer/combiner should not be "strapped" to the dish mount, it would be best if it were screwed to the post. Looks bad, won't really affect performance. The other problems; he didn't service-loop the cables from the...

I respect your view and understand your side to this, somewhat, and on a limited basis, as VOOM did avail to you and everyone else what is included in the *free* installation. I fully expect the company that actually scheduled the installer out did somewhat of a *review* as to what to expect as...

Hey 1080, I recall seeing your original post about your install. I thought you had said your extra costs were $150? How did you get to $400? Just curious.. The surge protector certainly would not be expected to be included and the fact that you did buy one was a very smart decission on...

Wiring Diagram for 3 or more Receivers with Sensar OTA Attached is how ALL VOOM multiswitched multiple STB installs need to be done for now until VOOM ships a multiswitch that passes power. This is the ONLY way this can work, make sure to show this to your installer or service person. The...

Sorry I had not seen the original post, thanks Sean. Attached is how ALL VOOM multiswitched multiple STB installs need to be done for now until VOOM ships a multiswitch that passes power. This is the ONLY way this can work, make sure to show this to your installer or service person. The...

I can solve this entire problem..It's not the Sensar OTA... It's completely connected incorrectly, which we can all agree on, and half of the advise you're seeing posted here is ok, the other half is wrong. First I need to know exactly how many STB's you have, before I can go any further.

Iyla, Your post is totally correct. However, what did you actually gain by doing this? Did more channels appear? Did the signal of the OTA jump? I'm not being contradictory, just not sure what the logic is, other than on excessive long runs and other conditions you mention that can affect...

To answer your question in a nut shell>>> NO There are no magical boxes to make your reception appear, or really come in stronger. There are antenna amplifiers, however, they really don't add that much overall gain. If you don't have any signal in the first place, there's not much you can do...

Your "twinkling" probably has nothing to do with old cables or any diplexer. There are several threads that address that problem and I'm understanding that problem is partly software and certain TV brands. Follow those threads for that. Old cabling can cause real problems if it's nicked or cut...

Yes, the STB produces 12-18 volts to power the LNB. The power passive Winegard diplexer/combiner is designed to allow "sharing" of the voltage to pass to the antenna's amplifier to power it. If you remove the diplexers, that antenna will not work by itself. It requires power, either from the...
