If it is for Roof Antenna (ota) from where to get power?

I've got a Terk inline signal amplifier (powerless) and when I use it either to feed the OTA to more TVs or OTA+RF modulated satellite signal on 1 coax, the amplifier does worse than good; the image goes bad, bad. I tried simply from OTA antenna just to one TV and same thing. The instructions...

I checked last night all the transponders level: 1--92 2--80-82 3--91-92 4--96-97 5--89-90 6--82 7--88 8--79-81 9--79-80 10--65-67 11--74-75 12--78-79 13--70-72 14--65-66 15--68-71 16--63 17--66-68 18--76-78 19--63-65 20--66-68 21--58-59 22--56-58 23--57-59...

I just check randomly about 30 channels from 100-900 and all were using only transponder # 2. It is supposed to be like that? Thank you.

DirecTV and signal strength When I check the signal strength on my Sony SAT A3 receiver, I get a level of 77-79 using the default settings (transponder 2) and near the level bar it says "LOCKED". When changing the transponder nr, I get much better level of over 90, let's say on transponder...

How to eliminate the signal leakage (egress) when modulating Directv and ota signals?

1-Please need help to figure out how to calculate the loss when using a 2-way combiner (diplexer). Assuming that I have two leads that I want to combine; OTA signal 14 dB and satellite signal 24 dB; the loss would be -4 dB. From which number I subtract 4, from 14 or from 24? 2-Also, it is...

If I have found this tutorial sooner, I would have saved a lot of frustration and time to me and to you guys that helped me in answering to my questions in this forum (thank you again a million). In my opinion this basic tutorial is very clear, concise and in detail to make a novice understand...

Have any idea if Cable Electronics 2000sd is a good modulator; it is stereo and very cheap. Thank you

A signal combiner is the same thing with a splitter or a diplexer? Which one should be used to combine sat signal and ota and which one to split those 2 signals? Thank you

Having only 2 sat receivers and needing to split only from sat 1 to more tvs can I use this set up? From my initial setup I will drop this scenario to get in room 3, Satellite 2 also (it is too complicated); so I will need only Satellite 1 and OTA signals in room 3. split OTA in two; (I...

So how I do that; what would be the diagram? What devices I need?

No, all are around 15'. I mean the problem can be summarized to this scenario; how to hook up sat and ota to multiple tvs feeding just 1 cable to the rooms that have only tv (not receiver); having like a splitter from which one cable will go to every tv (2, 3, 4, 5). Unfortunatelly all examples...

I just bought an old house, two levels and it is like a Christmas tree; coaxial cables everywhere from the air local antenna and the DirecTV satellite dish. I want to cut down on cables and also to get, if it is possible without video quality loss, both antennas' signal (satellite and OTA) to...
