Sorry for the confusion...I had a wide band Zinwell (which worked) and bought the satellite usa multiswitch (Satellite USA) which is also wide band made specifically for directv. Is is supposed to see all 5 satellites. The one difference I saw was for the four inputs coming from the satellite...

Hello...New here and had a question concerning the Satellite USA multiswitch. I have the 5 lnb directv dish with about 7 receivers. I upgraded from the Zinwell 4x8 since I ran out of outputs. Switched everything over and could never acquire a signal. The Satellite USA multiswitch has a power...

Boba, My antenna does not go through my multiswitch. The four outputs of the multiswitch run into a 4-way diplexer. I also have an antenna cable running through a two way splitter, with one cable going directly to a receiver and the other antenna cable going into the 4-way diplexer. The...

Thanks "Paul Mall"...I will give that a try and see what the outcome is. Just out of curiosity has anyone had experience with amplifying a combined OTA/Satellite signal and if so, did you put the amplifier before or after the diplexer (4-way diplexer located at the distribution panel in my...

Would anyone have any ideas on this issue? To summarize, I am sending my antenna signal to a two-way splitter. From there, one antenna signal goes straight to one of my satellite receivers and has a very good OTA signal strength. The other antenna signal leads into a 4-way diplexer and from...

Reduced OTA signal strength passing through 4-way diplexer? Would anyone have any ideas on this issue. To summarize, I am sending my antenna signal to a two-way splitter. From there, one antenna signal goes straight to one of my satellite receivers and has a very good OTA signal strength...

NutFlush920: Your recommendations worked great!!! I moved the b-band converters to the distribution box and fed their signals, along with the antenna, into a 4-way diplexer. I do have one more question. It turns out one of my receivers is a H20-100 which has only one b-band...

Thanks for your help. So I will hang on to the HR20-700's and for each receiver I will remove one of the B-band converters and connect to the multiswitch at the distribution panel (4 B-band converters relocated to panel for 4 receivers). I will split the antenna signal 4 ways at the panel and...

I have 4 HR20-700's. I wonder if Directv would switch these out for me so that I would only have to use one cable??? Is the B-band the coax that goes to antenna 1 or antenna 2 on the back of my HR20? Please excuse my ignorance :) Also, I know what the HR21 and diplexors are in your schematic...

I am new to this forum so hello to everyone! I'm sure this question has been asked, but...Is there any way to combine OTA with the DirecTV AT9 Dish. From what I have read is that you cannot combine the signal since the HD channels utilize the same low frequencies as the OTA. With that being...
