I'm using dual mode, so you're saying it wont work... Can an RF universal remote be programmed to handle the TV2 commands? Has anyone done this?

bernie_b, I have a Vip622 receiver and I am using it in two locations. However, I want to have both locations use IR so that I can easily set up a universal remote. Is this possible? Is it done the same way as the 522? I have an IR relay from location 2 to location 1 so sending the IR...

The reason I'm planning on doing separate antennas is because I didn't want to put a huge antenna on my roof. The Lacrosse antenna I have seems like it will do a fine job for the UHF stations and it looks more like a satellite dish than an antenna. So my plan was to put the Lacrosse on the...

Thanks for the info guys. First, my attic is huge and empty, so putting an antenna in there should not be a problem. Also my house was built in the 40s so there are no ducts to worry about. I think I'm going to get the CS900, HDP-269, and CM0549. Hopefully that will be everything I need...

"Appearance should be a secondary concern" Well we disagree here. But thats OK. You say "it's all around better" to run a new line of coax...why is that? Are there signla loss issues associated with using the diplexers? If this is the case, what kind of signal loss would I have if I got...

Thanks for the input guys! I only mentioned those three because those are the only three I really need. Other channels are bonus. I don't really care if I get PBS or UPN in HD, but I HAVE to get the Eagles games :P. Anyway... If I mount the antenna on the roof will I be able to use the...

Hi guys, I've been reading through a lot of posts here and I think I'm on information overload. I need help choosing the right antenna for my setup and I've having trouble figuring it all out. First off, I don't know much about OTA antennas as I've always had cable until recently. I just...
