    Running Coax in new construction

    Thanks for the input Thanks for all the input. I will definitely run 2 lines and consider coiling more in the wall. The good thing is that I will have an unfinished basement for a few years to fish more cable from. As for the cat 5/6, I have 2 friends that have built houses in the last 5 years...

    Running Coax in new construction

    I am building a new home this spring and wondering about running coax. Is it preferable to run 2 lines to each tv (one for uhf/vhf one for sat.). Or can you just use a diplexer. Also I know my dvr takes 2 lines itself so maybe I need 3 for possible future dvr locations. I am unfamiliar with the...

    DTV Converter box with built in RF modulator

    (none have inputs other than antenna) This is what i am talking about. Why don't they make one with composite inputs that will modulate the signal and send it out with the OTA channels through the coaxial cable???????

    DTV Converter box with built in RF modulator

    Does anyone know if a converter box with a built in rf modulator exists? (composite inputs not just outputs). I've done a lot of looking with no luck. I can't believe this does'nt exist, there must be thousands of people who need a converter box and rf modulator hooked in tandem to support a dvd...

    HELP! 771 Error code on some channels

    yeah i wish i had a 6x8 switch to try, but I really think in theory I should not need this with only one dual tuner receiver. Can anyone tell me for sure what the connection at the dish looks like? Is it a multi switch up there? Is it built into the lnb unit? If originally installed for a single...

    HELP! 771 Error code on some channels

    What kind of switch would I need? I have a Zinwell SAM-3402 3X4 multi-switch which is not being used but this looks like it only has 2 sat INPUTS and 4 OUTPUTS. I thought the slimline had a built in switch?

    All my readings on 101 and 103 (b) are between 93 and 100 except for a very few which are 0 but I was told that is what they were supposed to be. On 103(a) I only get 4 to show anything but 0 or N/A. These are #2 (54), #3 (38), #6 (43) & #17 (97) on tuner 1. Tuner 2 picks up #4 (58) in addition...

    Grounding a new installation

    No, there is not any ground block. And yes, there is nothing grounding the receiver. He just cut and pulled the ground wire back mid line and grounded it straight to the service panel. Otherwise the coax lines run continuous from the dish to the receiver with no splices what so ever.

    Grounding a new installation

    my installer stripped off the grounding cables as they passed my main breaker panel in the basement but failed to actually hook them to it. Everything worked fine but when i saw this i just connected them to a large screw holding the cover of the breaker panel on. Is this sufficient? How...
