Just add a switch I have a similar setup... One network cable that runs to my Xbox 360. I plugged a inexpensive 5 port ethernet switch into the cable, and then ran two lines. One to the Xbox and one to the D* receiver. Worked like a charm. Got the switch at Bestbuy on sale for $15.00. :)

First take a look behind your receiver and see if there is a diplexer with lines running to the sat input and OTA input. If you see it, unplug the input from the diplexer and run that cable (the one coming from the wall) to the b band converter and then straight to the sat input on the...

Still have the Congrats card and audio here. Why would I get it and you guys wouldn't?

hehehe.... wishful thinking at this point. This has all gotten so far out of hand, it's becoming enjoyable! We've got people ready to storm the gates at D* to demand HD, others who argue about launch dates (my CSR is smarter than your CSR!), folks who stir the pot (I sometimes resemble that...

When you say enough said... Is that a promise? paulsown, For the life of me, I can't figure out why you won't let this alone. If you told me that you were doing something in September, and it wasn't complete by the 23rd, I might get concerned and then watch and see if you followed through...

I'd definately get with the HOA before doing anything. You don't want to make waves as a new owner, even though the FCC ruling about dishes is in your favor. Then I would have an installer come out for a site survey, to find the best possible installation point. Just my $.02

So to answer your question... Yes, the Diplexer is killing some of your sat signals. You have to run a dedicated line from the OTA to the receiver. Does that suck? Yes. Is there a guaranteed workaroud? Not yet.

Amen Brother... I heard that the Saints were going to win the last two games, but I'm not calling their head office demanding free stuff...LOL:D

I'd love to see an actual conversation, instead of conspiracy theories about companies lying to customers or a bunch of 'he said, she said' nonsense about why the new HD is not rolled out yet. Here's a thought, maybe just maybe there is a valid reason that D* hasn't lit up the channels, and...

Here's and idea.... Have him sign up for service, then call D* to request his free upgrade to the 5-lnb dish. Then the whole building can go Mpeg4!

...when you post a poll about how often people refresh the HD Discussions forum.

C'mon Charper, It's the useless whining and complaining that's so entertaining! Besides, the chances of anyone posting anything of substance on the HD Discussions page until the new content arrives are lower than the chance of my winning the Powerball, while being stuck by lightening, as I...

Just curious... I know that I'm not the only one doing it!:)

Yeah, I don't actually get to riled up.... But I love to act like I am and see what happens in the forums....:p
