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.

Chuck Norris doesn't have to throw things.... Things simply run from Chuck.:up

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

Hey Mods, is there any way to require some sort of 'donation' from posters who keep posting on & on & on & on and just won't let it go? LOL... You guys could make a fortune!

I noticed that another patron was getting TNTHD on 726, so I started playing around and instead of the 'channel not purchased' message for the ST HD channels now I see a D* logo screen with music playing in the background from XM 46. The funny thing is that if you watch for a few minutes the...

I'm able to get it, and I don't even have ST.... Interesting...

It sure makes the test channel more fun to watch (j/k)

Both Picture and sound here in New Orleans, LA.

Wait a minute... if this rumor is true, then we would suddenly have to pay for HDNet? That doesn't seem quite right... I'm not bitching about another $5.00 per month as long as it's paying for something extra that I'm not already getting for what I'm paying now. Eh, what's the...

In all seriousness, if you are paying for something... anything... and suddenly you can't get what you are paying for, that is crap. I don't care if you are talking about a satellite subscription, or a pizza. I'm not bashing D* as a whole, I'm just bashing this particular issue. EDIT-- Well...

Did anyone see the Meerkat Manor ad? FRIGGIN GORGEOUS!

Don't get me wrong.... I love football and if I didn't get season tickets to the Saints, I would probably get ST, and not miss TNTHD (hmmm, or would I?? After all, I AM paying for it anyway!)

Same problem here.... Now this is a problem, as we are paying for the HD package. I don't personally subscribe to Sunday Ticket, so what, folks like me are supposed to give up their programming once a week? Hopefully this will get resolved with the new birds.
