Hi All, I have three IRDs ( Viewsat 2000 Pltinum & Extreme, Coolsat 5000 ). Can any of these boxes be used for FTA & OTA( over the air digital TV ) signals at the same time? Thanks.

Thanks to all of you. Lots of great info from all. The names on the antennas are faded and can't tell even the model numbers. The purpose for using two antennas was to get better signal - or so I thought. Obviously, I had no idea. I will have to reconfig my set up based on info provided...

Hi All, I set up smaller and older antenna( the clothes line type )and I also set up a small square, 12"x12", ota antenna. Both antennas work separately but I decided to use them together by using a splitter. I placed them both on the roof and turned( adjusted) them for best picture. My...

Have you tired turning it off and on using back off and on switch? Have you tried erasing all channels and reinstalling factory firmware?

Any one know of a good reliable Viewsat vendor in the Los Angeles area besides 'fleabay'. I need a Viewsat Extreme remote. Thanks.

Ditto, I'd like to know as well if this is OK. Thanks.

Hi All, I got my first C band dish - which is a 4 footer. I have not included any pics since i wanted to get some prelim info first. I have a dish set up for KU already using two LNBs connected to a switch ( 4X1 DiSEqC ). Can I connect this C band dish to my switch or do I need 'special'...

Sorry Iceberg, I was not able to scan in channel 18.6, as an example. But I was able to scan it in at shorter distances. This antenna we installed at my folks home and they are not close by. It is the biggest outdoor one HOME DEPOT sold ( GE...

Thanks, We have two TV's for now and they are DTV ready so no converter box is needed. The image is great on the TVs and there is no 'pixilation'. It is just that we are not getting all the channels which we can get a shorter cable runs. Our address is: Corona, CA 92881. I tried the 'tv fool...

Thanks Ice, Actually we did a lot of looking at and trying to configure the best location for the antenna. This is a two story house we are talking about. The 'best' location was also the most convinient which was at the chiminey. Unfortunately, the 'box' which connects to all the TVs was...

Thanks boba, I did install the biggest antenna we could buy. I know biggest doesn't mean best but I was told it was better than a smaller one. Before bolting it down I also moved it around to find the best angle for the best signal too. What I noticed was that at about 110 feet I could scan in...

Hey All, I recently installed an OTA antenna for digital channels. I noticed that as the line ( coax cable ) gets longer some channels start dropping off. I noticed that after about 100 feet I loose many channels. I assume some signals are too weak to be pushed by the antenna at longer...

Hey All, I attempted to 'tune into' sat 25 (AMC21) using the following TP 12140 V 30000 but can't get higher than 69% Quality. Can't get anything on TP 12179 at all. I'm confident that the dish is plumb and aimed properly. Is this because the dish is too small for this sat? Thanks.

The lnb is fixed onto the dish, you mean when turning the dish side to side?

Hey Folks, I added a second lnb to a DirecTV 36" WorldDirect dish for above mentioned sat. The quality for lnb hovers around 65% - 69%. Lots of channels come in just fine. I added TP 11842 H 22000 where a bunch of new religious channels are found at. These channels did not come in on any of the...
