    Amp for homemade antenna?

    Well, any addition of a combiner or divider will cause a 3 dB loss, period. And 3 dB is half your signal. Although you may not see it in the picture, that's what will happen.

    Orby Channels Active Again?

    Yes, Heartland is the one and same, and RA Voice, well, think Fox+ ++ news channel. Not at all religious.

    2 more channels added to the mux today. GEB and Faith-USA, for a total of 9 channels on the old Orby transponder. And I also just added a newly purchased DVR - everything works including the DVR for OTA.

    HD NBC feeds on AMC-1?

    Anyone know where/how the HD NBC network feeds work on satellite? I currently use a Tiernan TDR6 4:2:2 decoder and 1 M Ku dish aimed at AMC-1 for the SD direct network feeds but wonder just what equipment would be required to receive the same network HD feeds - especially since the SD feeds will...
