Thanks for the input Thanks for all the input. I will definitely run 2 lines and consider coiling more in the wall. The good thing is that I will have an unfinished basement for a few years to fish more cable from. As for the cat 5/6, I have 2 friends that have built houses in the last 5 years...

I am building a new home this spring and wondering about running coax. Is it preferable to run 2 lines to each tv (one for uhf/vhf one for sat.). Or can you just use a diplexer. Also I know my dvr takes 2 lines itself so maybe I need 3 for possible future dvr locations. I am unfamiliar with the...

what? I don't get why DRM has anything to do with combining a rf modulator and a dtv converter box into one product.

(none have inputs other than antenna) This is what i am talking about. Why don't they make one with composite inputs that will modulate the signal and send it out with the OTA channels through the coaxial cable???????

Does anyone know if a converter box with a built in rf modulator exists? (composite inputs not just outputs). I've done a lot of looking with no luck. I can't believe this does'nt exist, there must be thousands of people who need a converter box and rf modulator hooked in tandem to support a dvd...

reciever is my problem just remembered I never tried going straight to my tv with hdmi and it works! So, seeing as though my blu-ray works fine in both hdmi ins It must be a software incompatability issue. Which sucks balls. FIX THIS DTV!!!

me tooooooo! my situation in wierder though. My sound works but not my video!!! I have an hr-21 routed through a samsung 7.1 home theatre in a box to my samsung 46" lcd (LTN4665?)I have had this all set up since last november with no issues. All of a sudden audio and NO VIDEO! tried switching...

Just wondering if I recently missed a free movie weekend or if there is one coming soon. Who finds this out and how? I know it is usually posted on here weeks in advance. Is there kind of a schedual for these weekends (every 3 mo.)????

It was installed in december 2007

Problem Fixed!!!!!! So, an old coworker of mine stopped back in to work wearing a DTV shirt. After explaining my problem to him he led me to his truck and handed me a 6x8 zinwell multiswitch! This has completly solved my problems. apparently something (receiver or switch) has to be backfeeding...

a restart fixes mine to but I does'nt seem like you shold have to do this every day. How long does yours work after a reset? I am debating having dtv send me a replacment dvr but not sure if it will help.

Does anyone know if there are any new channels schedueled to come out anytime soon. I heard they are launching a new satellite? any info would be awesome!

yeah i wish i had a 6x8 switch to try, but I really think in theory I should not need this with only one dual tuner receiver. Can anyone tell me for sure what the connection at the dish looks like? Is it a multi switch up there? Is it built into the lnb unit? If originally installed for a single...

What kind of switch would I need? I have a Zinwell SAM-3402 3X4 multi-switch which is not being used but this looks like it only has 2 sat INPUTS and 4 OUTPUTS. I thought the slimline had a built in switch?

I don't think It could be the bbc's beacause I think the channels on both tuners go out at the same time.
