    622 OTA signal loss

    I'm in Va Beach and have the same problem with WAVY. I'm using the Radio Shack variable attenuator to resolve the WAVY problem, but I can't find a sweat spot of attenuation where I don't lose WHRO. I corresponded with their engineer, and got the same "not my problem" answer.

    Breakup & Loss of Signal on OTA Channel Using 622

    I experienced a very similar problem with a single OTA channel here in Virginia Beach last week. After conversing with the lead engineer at the station regarding receiver overload, I tried disconnecting my Winegard Sensar antenna, and plugging in a plain FM Terk radio antenna. Station strength...

    Can a DP21 be used with a DP34 for a 4 sat. location?

    To clarify, are you trying to connect 4 sats or 6 sats?

    Can a DP21 be used with a DP34 for a 4 sat. location?

    It will work just as you described. If you have the dual tuner 942 receiver, you need two DP21's as you MUST have the same exact inputs to both tuners.

    Problem using 2 DP21s/DP34 to get 61.5 on a 942

    Gave up and bought DP44 on eBay. Check switch repeatedly ran fine (4 of 4 green), but after program guide downloaded, I got pop-up that I needed to run check switch again.

    Problem using 2 DP21s/DP34 to get 61.5 on a 942

    Not working again now. Could cable length be problem, causing different results each time? I think I am well under 200 ft.

    Problem using 2 DP21s/DP34 to get 61.5 on a 942

    Strangest thing - I ran check switch five times in a row, and got different results each time without changing anything else. They all failed showing 1,2, or 3 sats (not even the same for tuner 1 and tuner 2), until run number 5 where the 942 showed all four sats checked out green on both...

    Problem using 2 DP21s/DP34 to get 61.5 on a 942

    I'm trying to get the 61.5 bird added to my Superdish install with a single DP34 and two DP21. When I connect one output from DP34 into a DP21 with the other DP21 input from the 61.5, the check switch works fine showing 4 sats. But since 942 is dual tuner, I need to do this for both tuners, or...

    Getting 942 to connect Tuner 1 to 61.5 in addition to Superdish

    I didn't search to see if it worked on Fridays either. Were there any other random facts I forgot to explore? Back to eBay...

    Getting 942 to connect Tuner 1 to 61.5 in addition to Superdish

    I tried reasoning with it, but it just stares back at me, like it doesn't speak English or something. Why has no one mentioned this here, with a million people doing this DP21 - DP34 hookup for the Voom channels??

    Getting 942 to connect Tuner 1 to 61.5 in addition to Superdish

    I have a Superdish with 3 sat output going to both tuners of a 942 (separate lines from a DP34). I added a 61.5 dish combined with a DP21 on the Tuner 1 line, and could get the Voom channels when that was the only sat connected. Now that I have the other 3 sats connected, the check switch runs...

    Voom dish and 61.5 not working

    Actually I came up with a better solution. I used an angle grinder to make 2 cuts in the D arm of the Voom dish, then used pliars to bend a nice D shape into it. The LNB mounts firmly in the arm now, with the screw through the arm to hold it in place. Too five minutes or less. My real...

    Voom dish and 61.5 not working

    I am doing a very similar thing this morning with same results. I'm using a Y adapter to put a DP LNB Dual on the Voom dish, runing that into a Dp21 with other DP21 input being the output of a DP34. Many people here seem to have gotten it to work for Voom channels. Check switch results (on...

    4 sat locations with dp34 and dp21

    I already have the two DP34s, that's why I'm looking for how to cascade them. I hooked up line 1 output (to receiver) of my first DP34 (from a Superdish) to the dish 1 input on a second DP34. The dish 2 input on the second DP34 is from one jack off a DP dual LNB retrofitted on a Voom dish...

    4 sat locations with dp34 and dp21

    If I use two dp34s to combine the signals from a Superdish and a 61.5 dish, do I use the receiver output jack of first dp34 or the one intended for cascading? That is - the bottom jacks or the right jacks?
