    Getting local channels

    I have 2 h24-700s and an h22. So these need antennas and converters? I don't have a multiswitch they are just hardwired from the dish so should I get an wb68 and hook the antenna into the off air port on it? Also if I wanted to go as cheap as possible since I have herbs I should just be...

    Getting local channels

    I have 3 recievers at my camphouse that i bring from home and the house is far enough away to not have local channels near me so what i was wondering is is there any way for me to get local channels on my recievers here? Can i get an antenna and get some channels that way or something?

    SWM Questions

    Ok im having problems with my setup and i think i may have figured out an alternative. My neighbor and i have a very small space to aim a dish through and his can get signal and mine cannot. Heres my question. He has one HDDVR Setup to a swm line with no multiswitch or anything. Can i take...

    Aiming problems

    another question.....since i have a 4 line satellite can i just bypass the multiswitch and plug 3 of the 4 wires directly into the lines that run to my receivers and leave the 4th wire unconnected?

    Aiming problems

    yeah thats what im worried about.......im getting signal on the 99s and 103ca but nothing else.....could the multiswitch be doing this? i have a guy right behind me that has his dish setup and i have mine setup in the same way.... would the multiswitch take the signal away from some transponders...

    Aiming problems

    Yes this is a followup. I get signal fine on my 3 recievers but I can't get any HD signal at all I followed the setup instructions and I have the correct tilt, azimuth and elivation and I get 101 pretty much 90+ on all transponders but I get ZILCH on any other satellite. The guy that set up my...

    Connected and not connected?

    I think i do it's the same switch setup that he had shown there. I've got another question, if I get a satellite dish that has the better LNB but with one line (swm I think) could I just switch the cable into the dish from the block and viola satellite or do I need to go ahead and buy a 4x4...

    Connected and not connected?

    I just hooked up my system to a basic little dish and I'm randomly not getting all of my channels. A lot of my channels work but also a bunch of them say searching for satellite signal. This doesn't make sense because I can just go to te next channel and it will be fine. Does anyone know why...
