Not to sure what you are asking, but you need a diplexer only at each receiver where you want to use the OTA signal. Later Rick

You can't and should not use a splitter on a coax from the lnb. As others have stated the receiver passes voltage up the coax to control the lnb. A signal splitter with two receivers will allow each receiver to pass a possibly different voltage up the coax and could damage the lnb. Most lnb's...

The GainMaster which I have uses a triple lnb assembly and does not have any sort of built in Multiswitch. You should use the GainMaster assembly for the LNB's. Later Rick

Okay...you can get a Directv HD receiver for about $299 and up and somewhat cheaper if you don't mind ebay. I got mine for $250 (new in box). here is a link to the HD pac from DirecTv http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/imagine/HDTV_pricing.dsp Yes the PG includes the OTA PG detail...there...

That is the secret "window" button that sends all your viewing info to the mothership located in GEO orbit...... :D Not really....it does nothing right now....its for future use. You can switch tuners fast with the tivo remote...just hit the down arrow. You really won't miss pip...

Directv will sell you a HD receiver for $99 installed if you have been a customer for 2 years and your account has remained in good standing. You will be able to get the CBS network HD if you live in a O&O (network owned and operated affiliate market). I have the HD pack from Directv and...

Pegasus or as it is sometimes referred to as pegash*t is a major pain for Directv. Yes they do mark the programing up and their customer service is worse than Directv. If I were you...I would go E* unless TIVO is important to you. If that is the case you will need to "move" and do a self...

Just might be some truth to this....I doubt that it is some master plan by News Corp to flush Tivo out of the system. The merger is reported to be on a fast track....January at the earliest<IMHO>. Shoot if DTV/News Corp gets enough Tivo Hardware out there it might be cheaper to Buy...

CC had a online rebate that ended on 10/03 for $50 making the cost $49. I think it was a mistake...a leftover because they pulled the rebate form on 9/30 but several people had it and offered it via email. Rick

Greg, Guess you kind of missed my point...my articulation must be lacking today :P I have been thinking and probably will upgrade to the Channel Master GainMaster dish to hopefully address a rain fade problem. I will probably buy this online from solid signal and install it myself. Should...

This thread raises a interesting question....What channels are going to get moved around. I have locals here in the KC area...and I am considering a purchase of the Channel Master Gainmaster dish to help with rain fade, and while I have no long term plan for HD... will DTV move my locals...
