    Adding an OTA antenna to a 722k

    Ok, so the DB4 came in and now I'm really confused. As I mentioned before, the DB4 was supposed to have a 55 mile range vs the 30 mile range of the HDTVo I had up before. I mounted the DB4 in the attic on the exact same mast in the same spot pointed in the same direction with the same cable and...

    Adding an OTA antenna to a 722k

    Well I was planning on mounting my Terk HDTVo on the roof to hopefully improve my signal strength. Before I got around to it however, christmas happened and I got some gift certificates to Best Buy. I know I could get it much cheaper elsewhere but I really didn't need anything else from Best Buy...

    What's the best way to wire my house?

    Thanks for the quick response. So as for the OTA antenna - I think it is amplified but I'm not sure about a preamp. It is a Terk HDTVo which comes with a little thing that I plug the coax into that plugs into a power outlet which I think is an amplifier. Unfortunately I'm very new to the whole...

    Adding an OTA antenna to a 722k

    My antenna is a Terk HDTVo. I think it came with an amplifier ( the coax plugs into a little black box that plugs into an outlet and then continues down to the 722k) Does this mean I would only need a preamp? If so, any recommendations? I'd like to go as cheap as possible as long as it is...

    Adding an OTA antenna to a 722k

    Thanks for all the suggestions! I ended up mounting the OTA in the attic so I didn't have to worry about running a new line through the house after all. I did run a dedicated line down to my 722k but that wasn't too bad. I just didn't want to have to go through an outer wall if I could help it...

    2 HDTVs with 1 722k

    Do all the connections for "TV1" on the 722k function at the same time or can only one be active at a time? I ask because I would like to run 2 HDTVs with HD quality from just one receiver if possible. My current setup is one 722k with a component/optical audio output from TV1 to an HDTV and...

    Adding an OTA antenna to a 722k

    I've gotten some conflicting reports about adding an OTA antenna to my 722k receiver. The installer that came and setup my Dish today said that when I get my antenna mounted, I should run a coax cable from the antenna a port on the dish's LNB and that's all I would have to do to get the locals...
