    Dual Distribution Amplifiers

    I'm wanting to expand my OTA antenna to second building. I'm using a Channel Master 8 port DA in the house and was wondering if I could connect a second one in the other building 160' away feeding off the one in the house.

    Dish Anywhere Locals Not Working

    I have been on the eastern arc since 2015, I temporarily switched to my RV dish (western arc) for a few weeks while I was getting a new roof. I got my EA dish back up and running and on the dish anywhere app I get a dish logo with music playing just in my locals. All other channels work fine...

    Fiber Installation

    Today I'm installing a fiber optic link between my barn and house. I will be pulling the fiber patch cable through the 3" underground conduit containing the power line. How should I attach the fiber to the wire snake where the end won't snag on the power line? It has SC ends.

    Joey Changing Channels

    I have a 2 hopper 4 joey system, the joey in my kitchen has been changing channels on its own the past few days for no apparent reason. The kitchen joey feeds off the living room hopper which also feeds my bar in basement which is rarely used so its not from a tuner conflict. All the other rooms...

    Arc flip

    I've noticed since I've been on the eastern arc with dish I've been losing signal much easier than when I was on the western arc with DTV. I just canceled my international sub so I no longer need the 118 slot. Would it be worth it to go western and have a wing dish for my locals in hd on 61.5...

    Adding a 3rd hopper

    I currently have 2 hoppers, 4 joeys, and a VIP211Z. I called to ask about adding another hopper and 2 more joeys for my second home bar and they said absolutely not.
