    SWM Config Question

    Ran out of room on a splitter to add a 5th HD DVR. I'm going to add a MSPLIT8R1-03 1x8. Config will be: Add second RG-6 to second SWM output at dish location and pull to basement and connect to input of the 8-way splitter. Connect the single RG-6 to the new splitter and I'm good to go...

    Basic Broadcast T/W Cable w/Modulated Security Cams

    I have a client where in is previous home he had his CCTV modulated so that he could view his cams on ch. 65, 67, 69, etc. and have the lower channel just basic cable without having to use a box. It worked great. Now, he's moved and they have DirecTV as their provider, but would like the...

    Volume Discrepency on New DTV Receiver

    A new DTV receiver was installed in our clients home (I don't know the model number, but it's the "new" new looking DVR that has a full flush front). Anyway, the issue is the volume output is really, really low - it comes up on -2db and that is barley audible. Any ideas on this problem?? Thanks.

    CATV Diplexer Question..

    I need to replace a HRD2/30 Diplexer with I guess a splitter/coupler that will allow 3 standard CATV connections for modulated security cameras. The one that is on there now has and vhf/uhf 15-800 Mhz out and one out for Sat (850-2500 Hhz). I don't need the Sat out, but do need two other...

    MDU Set Up Issue

    I have a situation in an condo complex that provides DTV to tenants in the building. In the living room and master bedroom there is cabinet space for a DTV receiver - not a problem. In the master bath and kitchen I will be changing out old CRT TVs with modern lcd displays, but there is no room...

    Exterior Wall Grommet/Sealent

    Good idea, I had my handyman put the pipe in place. After running the cable just seal the exterior hole with silicone?

    Exterior Wall Grommet/Sealent

    I'm sure this is a well worn topic, but I'm running RG6/Q from the basement crawlspace to the exterior of the house then up an in to a second floor bedroom. Due to the construction of the home (lathe and plaster) I'm going to go this route rather then through the inside of the wall. Questions...

    5-LNB/On-Demand Questions

    I'm a a/v intagrator and always contract out for my DirecTV needs (I leave it to the pros), but I met with a client today and based on what I saw thought I'd hit you all with a few questions so I can get a better idea of what's going on. He has a typical (but a bit old) distrubution set up in...

    Satellite Radio/DirecTV Combiner

    Has anybody used the combiner to enable the use of one RG6 to carry the signal of both DBS and Sat Radio? I've go a 5LNB set up with about 8 DTV receivers, but just one that I'll be combining the Sat Radio signal from a Denon AVR-1901 on out to the roof antenna. Seems pretty straight forward...
