This worked for me. First choose a tv2 output channel in the 322 menu that is not close to the antenna channels. Then combine the tv2 output and the antenna using a standard 3 terminal splitter. So you will have the one existing coax going to your second tv. I am assuming your second tv has an...

With enough luck you might be able to get that WA dish lined to get one or the other of 61.5 or 72.7 but never both at the same time. The WA lnb spacing is not the same as for the EA. Suggest that you search craigslist for a free or cheap used EA dish and then either swap the lnb's or the whole...

You need to peak your dish for the strongest signal.

Well said "northgeorgia", nice explanation.

Well, what you say is true. If you like watching the news it probably will be interesting to you. There are actually a couple feeds there usually with different content.

Its mostly ethnic, sometimes soccer and various religious programming on Galaxy 19. There are a few channels on other satellites that I watch occasionally including PBS. However mostly I enjoy FTA as a hobby just to see what I can get but then I very seldom find anything I want to watch. I rely...

You need an FTA dish and attach a linear lnb to it. Sometimes you can find a used one all setup on Craigslist. Otherwise checkout Ebay or Sadoun Satellite Sales.

One thing you can do is check the signal strength on satellite 110. That would give you 19 degrees separation from 129 and be further from the tree. The signal strengths on 110 in Detroit should be about: tp14-69, tp15-73, tp16-72 and tp21-74. If your signal strengths are low on this one too...

Alignment it is! You peak the dish based on 119. Then 110, 118 and 129 should naturally fall in place.

Installers when they install a dish are only required to meet a minimum signal level and that does not always mean that the dish is peaked for maximum signal especially for 118. The Dishnet dma chart shows that in Detroit sat.119 tp21 should have a 79 signal level. TP 14 should be 67, TP15...

118 signal. That would have to be a pretty big tree to interfere with both 129 and 118. 118 is an fss satellite and the signal coming from there is quite a bit weaker than other Dishnet satellites. Accordingly the dish also needs to be aimed very precisely. I would guess that your dish needs to...

Go to www.sadoun.com and you can find installation guides and videos.

It is not any ole splitter you can buy anywhere. It is designed specifically for the Directv SWM ( Single Wire Model ) system. This is what you have as evidenced by the picture of the power inserter in your first post. Try Solid Signal, Sadoun, Amazon or Ebay .

Exactly.

Directv SWS splitter. You need to get a Directv SWS type splitter. That is an SWS2, SWS4, or SWS8 depending on how many future receivers you may want to have.
