    Antenna and Dish

    Would you have it in this order.........Antenna, splitter, power injector, pre amp, DISH receiver?

    OTA Antenna into DISH vip 722

    Might split the antenna into an amplifier and see how it does going to two receivers.

    OTA Antenna into DISH vip 722

    Thanks! I really have had great luck with the Terk antennas in the past......this is only my second one. The first one I had was a Terk 50 and I just mounted it ona rafter in the attic and it worked flawlessly and it took up no room in my attic. I never even had to use the amp with it...

    OTA Antenna into DISH vip 722

    Well, I have hit PAY DIRT! Got up this morning and run a direct coax from Terk antenna to back of receiver....no diplexers and did a test. Got no channel 8 (ABC) on first scan of local channels. Then deleted all channels and rebooted. Then hooked up power injector amp to antenna and...

    OTA Antenna into DISH vip 722

    I know the instructions for the Terk says not to hook up the inline amp to a Dish receiver..........but you did and it helped?

    OTA Antenna into DISH vip 722

    Did you ADD this to your Terk Antenna or REPLACE it all together? My problem is that all of my channels that are digital ARE UHF except one channel (ABC) and it is VHF.

    So, to get me over the hump to get channel 8 it might help if I....... (Trying these in order) 1. make sure all coax is RG6 2. run a direct coax line from OTA antenna to Dish receiver WITHOUT diplexer 3. move antenna to roof I'll report my porgress.

    OTA Antenna into DISH vip 722

    That is exactly as I see it. Every TV engineer in the DFW area verify this information. What digital channels that are UHF will stay put and Channel 8 will be on 8 or 9......either way, WFAA will stay VHF. The Terk HDTVo antenna is a VHF/UHF antenna and is doing great in my attic with no...

    OTA Antenna into DISH vip 722

    I have researched and know for a fact what the local digital channels are going to be after the transition......and they will be exactly what they are now. Only thing that will go away for me (& everyone else) is the analogs. As far as the program information I am going to lose when I drop...

    OTA Antenna into DISH vip 722

    I have another thread concerning this so hear goes my next questions.... I have a new Terk HDTVo VHF/UHF amplified antenna mounted in my attic. I do not have it connected to the power injector since it says not to if hooking to a satellite receiver. I have it run through a diplexer in order to...

    vip722 w/ OTA antenna

    Well, if it is going to stay VHF then it is not going to help me any on Feb. 2009. Blows me away that I can get 98% signal going directly to my TV.....yet when I run it to my Dish 722 receiver then I only get 58%.

    vip722 w/ OTA antenna

    I don't understand why all the other channels are coming in at near 100% except one (Channel 8-ABC out of Dallas). Most of all the other digital channels are now UHF.......EXCEPT Channel 8 which is Channel 9 (VHF) in digital. :confused:

    vip722 w/ OTA antenna

    I live in Weatherford (west Fort Worth and the metroplex). The antenna I have is a Terk HDRVo antenna. This won't let me post the link but you can google the antenna and find it.

    vip722 w/ OTA antenna

    Your advice worked. Even got Channel 8.1, .2, .3 (ABC) but I can only get it at 57% and it won't even show up to viewing satisfactory......but atleast I got it. I just don't understand why I can get 98-100% hooking my off air to the TV directly and only 57% through the DISH receiver???? I...

    looking for antenna

    I have the Terk HDTVo antenna and I am 75 miles away from the broadcst towers and I get all of the channels with it mounted in my attic with no problem. I don't even have to use the ac amp that comes with it unless I go directly to my tv. I am pushing the antenna through the Dish 722 VIP with...
