Update... Reboot fixed all!?

I've got 2 problems: OTA signal strength is fluctuating all over the place and others in Chicago are not having problems (I’m 10 miles from the towers). The modulated output has sound, onscreen info (from the 811) but no picture for either OTA or SAT broadcasts. I only noticed the second...

Thanks... What receiver are you using? Noticed also that the 811's modulated output to the BR TV has sound, onscreen info (generated from the 811) but no picture (for OTA or SAT)!! Perhaps my receiver is on the fritz.

We're experiencing less than normal signal strength on most channels and WGN is at 49% and won't lock. Anyone else or is it just us?

So it's only us? The problem continues today and, although some of the other channels have fluctuated back up and down between 75 and 85%, WGN still will not lock. Also, strangely, the South Bend channels (70 miles away) which are usually hit or miss have been coming in consistently well at 85%??

Tonight’s the first night in a few that we’ve actually watched TV and we’re having problems w/ all the OTA channel strengths on both 811’s. Everything is down 10% and WGN is down 40% and won’t lock in. Is anyone else having problems in Chicago or is it just us?

Just checked the specs on the Channel Master 4032IFD diplexer and it appears that this will work as the previous post says...

Sorry... Responded earlier without fully understanding your question. One thing, the 625 is not a HD receiver so, you realize, you will be watching all the programming originating from the upstairs receiver in SD. I not sure but someone said in your other post that a single RG-6 could be...

I’m confused as to how you could have powered the amp AND have a diplexed line (no matter the receiver). I’m not familiar with the 6000 but I do know that the 811 does not have any power on the OTA antenna-in (which is irrelevant if you were using diplexers which would have blocked the 12V...

Again, it depends if your OTA antenna needs 12V… If the antenna is not amplified, you just use diplexers (and a splitter if you have more than one HD receiver). If it is amplified, you can get a Winegard DP-3020 combiner directly from Winegard. Connection as per the diagram (complements of...

And let's not forget the possibility that the antenna maybe amplified... If it requires 12V, you run a second line, and you're using an 811, you will have to invest in a power injector because the OTA antenna-in on this receiver does not supply the line w/ 12V. For this reason, and the...

antennaweb.org has the digital tv frequencies and their corresponding channel numbers (after you enter your zip code).

NBC5's DTV channel number is 29... When you say you looked for it, was it on channel 5 or 29? When scanning, when you see the channels counting up, these are the DTV channels, and they don’t necessarily correspond to the actual channel number.

I think that my 811 automatically deleted the channel when NBC5 was having problems... Not sure though because I rescanned the DTV immediately when the problem started (and this would have removed it for sure). After the confirmation that the problem was fixed, I rescanned and it came back, no...

Sent an e-mail to the director of engineering at NBC5... He responded: "We are having some issues with our HD equipment...hopefully the part will arrive on Tuesday (isn't it always over the holiday things break)...I apologize for your inconvenience..."

Update... I got the new DP-3020 directly from Winegard and it's working perfectly. I could tell immediately that it made a difference because the channels tuned in much more quickly than before. Also, the craftsmanship of the new one is MUCH better than the one I got on eBay. Thanks for...

I'm having the same problem w/ my 811's in Chicago... I'm having other problems since I connected my OTA antenna so I'm glad to hear (sort of) that this latest thing is not just a problem I'm experiencing solely.

Perhaps but, I'm thinking the volt I'm measuring inside the house is looping back from the other 811 that I left plugged in while I took the measurement. What I want to know is whether it’s coming back from the DP-3020 or the switch. I’ll check this weekend. Is a single volt even enough to...

Well I’ve got 1 volt coming down the drop from the DP-3020 before the diplexers at the stb’s. Whether this is originating from the DP-3020 or from the switch, I couldn’t say since I took the reading inside the house. I’ll have to get up there this weekend. Mysteriously I’m not having any...

I agree with you IF you have a new(er) DP-3020. Take a look at the photo I posted above and you'll see that both the REC1/SAT1 and REC2/SAT2 connections feed the OTA antenna w/ 12V regulated! I don't know of any electrical components that allow voltage to flow in a single direction and...

OK then, one last question… I believe that there should not be any voltage crossing over the OTA splitter built into the DP-3020, correct? Tonight I’ll check this and, if I do find it’s shorted, I just order another one from Winegard. Thanks!

I’m a little confused… You mean split the OTA between the receiver and the back end diplexer? I’m confused because you say “from” your 811. Or do you mean split the OTA antenna feed between the antenna and the DP-3020 (but I thought splitters blocked the voltage)? When I get home I’ll...

So the tech at Winegard says that the DP-3020 was not designed to work with Dish and, therefore, the reason I’m experiencing problems and others are not could POSSIBLY be due to the fact that one of my drops is around 100’ (plus I’m using some questionable coax installed sometime in the 80’s for...

I’ve got the same setup, connected just like your diagram (plus a 311 that’s connected directly to the switch). I really hope the DP-3020 is bad because if not, who knows what the problem could be. My diplexers are Radio Shack and rated at 2150. Not to get off the original subject too...

I bought one on eBay 2 weeks ago, BUT, it’s not working properly with two 811 stb’s… Apparently I have an older 3020 or, perhaps it’s a fake. Actual photo from eBay is included below… The photo of the DP-3020 that I saw before on the forum was slightly different. A bit rounder in shape...
