Recording follow-up. I'm not familiar with OTA module? I have some diplexers on hand. When I previously used them to combine SAT/ OTA signals the OTA reception was poor. Since then I have relocated antenna into attic and also ran a dedicated OTA line to each TV. The reception is great. If I...

Currently have 2-301 DISH receivers and 2-HD TVs. Would like the capabilty to record programming when not at home. If I go route of DVR won't I be required to run a coax from #1 TV > #2 TV or continue to pay subscription fee on 2nd 301? With DVR set up can #2 TV access Over The Air broadcast?

I think I understand, I will need 4- Holland DPD2 Diplexers for TVs #1 & #2. Will also need 3 tap splitter > Outports 1 & 2 to feed UHF Signal to each diplexer and 3rd outport to feed #3 TV directly with UHF only signal?

Where do I find splitter & diplexers rated for Dish Pro equipment?

Currently have 2 TVs connected to DP 301 receivers and a 3rd TV viewing OTA only. I would like to connect outside UHF Antenna to all 3 TVs without running anymore coaxs into my home. What equipment do I need? Thanks :)

I use Compression style connectors & have no problem attaching. But the connectors don't swivel very good when attaching & removing!

With the advent of local channels going digital I will need an Outdoor VHF/UHF. Presently I have 2- DISH Pro 301 Receivers and watch analog local channel via rabbitt ears but the digital signal isn't strong enough using indoor antenna. What do I need to combine Sat signal with Outdoor VHF/UHF...

Only one receiver hooked to 148 via DP-21 switch.

Update: unplugged receiver ran another Check Switch and signal returned. Still don't know why this happens? Haven't had any power outages.

How come I lose 148 signal? Sun can be shining and signal will disappear. No trees in the way. Comes back mysteriously the way it was lost. Running Check Switch during outage always comfirms everything but 148 signal. Have powered receiver down by holding in on power button. Comes back the same.

Sorry got onto wrong forum

I can be receiving Sat 148. fine in the morning but in the evening signal lost. Comes & goes. Run a check switch. Switch acknowledges 101 & 119 but 2nd port none. What gives. Dish has clear view no trees.

Last thunderstorm we had here, 110 was lost but 119 signal remained. I have DISH Pro 500 equipment. I thought with that LNB during bad weather if you lost one the other side would be lost also?

Haven't seen his bill but Boba's explanation seems to answer how he does it.

I have a friend who claims he has received 3 DVRs from DISH free of charge. Customer rep charges him then posts a credit later. I have saw all 3, unboxed one of them myself & hooked up for him. He subscribes to every channel possible. I know new customers can receive DVR free. I tried this route...
