Ok, sorry for taking so long to respond. First off, again I feel stupid, but when I pulled all my equipment back out planning to start the hook-up totally over, I just happened to see that the USB cable coming off the AMP running up to my conditioner wasn't plugged in so it wasn't getting power...

I'll do that. Maybe that's the answer & I'll let you know. Thanks, Ken

Well guys, the absolute weirdest thing happened. I switched over to start troubleshooting my locals & bam! There they were & I did nothing! There's only one that I can't get that I used to get & that's our local ABC (12-1) Beaumont. So figure all that out! I have no idea why I've been struggling...

I’ll definitely try removing the amp from the loop, but would also like to understand why? Is it just because it might be faulty? On a side note, it was installed by a HT tech when they initially set up my system & I’ve just always left it installed when we moved, etc, but I’ve never really...

Well, turns out I was absolutely wrong about my hook-up! The area behind the components is just too dark & cramped to get pics that show anything sensible, but I'll lay out what I've got, which is different that what I originally said & I do apologize. First of all there are (2) RG-6 leads...

I do apologize but the "small white plastic splitter" I stated in my OP was wrong! That piece is actually a Winegard LNA-100 amplifier, not a splitter, if that's what you're referring to. Although I wouldn't understand why, could that have to do with why I've been able to get by with just the...

That part of the hook-up is still the same; both the antenna lead from the Dish & the OTA antenna were run to the switcher (or whatever that's called) in the attic & from there, just one RG-6 down the wall & out. I didn't change that part & it worked before. I believe the problem lies in the...

Dave: Thanks for your reply; I really think the problem is as simple as having the interconnects to my Hopper, OTA Dongle & Amp. connected wrong. The "little white box" I mentioned in my OP is actually a Winegard Amp called a LNA-100 Boost. I believe I have the connections wrong somehow between...

We were recently displaced due to a home fire, so all my equip. had been packed away & in storage for about 4 months. In re-hooking everything, I've run into an issue being able to get my OTA locals via the Dish OTA Dongle attached to my Hopper 3. I'm sure this is likely a minor glitch with the...

Thanks, guys!

I'm sure it's somewhere in this thread but have done a search & can't find it. Can someone tell me on the Hopper 3, how to hide specific channels I don't watch (like the Spanish channels) & also hide them from showing on the EPG? A Google search said I needed to go into Parental Controls, but I...

Wow! I just checked out the link you posted & it looks exactly like the same one I have now. I'm just surprised that after all these years, they still have that antenna in production, although I suppose the model # could likely have changed. But you're correct; if it's served us well for all...

It is an amplified antenna, but if I remember correctly, it's amplified only because I have it run into the back of my Hopper. I really don't remember which model Winegard it is; it was installed new 12 years ago. It's just a straight antenna (I'd say maybe 36" long). It looks similar to the...

So sorry, I knew there would be something I forgot. Actually I don't need to get the Houston locals. I already get those via Dish as locals. Although I live in Port Neches which is between Beaumont & Port Arthur...don't ask! So the locals I care about are channels 4 (Fox), 6 (CBS), 12 (ABC) &...
