    HD local channels without extra ant?

    That could probably work, but I'd have to get creative with my wiring. Currently I have the RF out of one of my Tivos going into the antenna/offair jack of my Terk BMS-58 switch and diplexers on the outputs so I can have sat TV and be able to watch Tivo on any of the outputs on channel 3...

    HD local channels without extra ant?

    I'd be amazed if I was one of the "chosen few"... always seems like I'm last on the list... haven't received my Tivo 6.2 upgrade, last on the poll for DSL so I can't get "full speed", etc etc... Anyway, i'll definately have to check that out when the new LNB comes this weekend... This is a...

    HD local channels without extra ant?

    Mounting Direct TV Dish on long pole

    My wife was against a dish up on the roof, so I cemented down a 4ft fence pole in the corner of the yard and mounted the dish to that... there's a little bush in front, so it's hidden nicely. One suggestion, I wouldn't go much longer than that... unless your using some sort of guy wires to...

    Wiring for Dummies? toroid/multi/D* ACK!

    I have to say, I think it's a really great product, the toroids... I was experimenting with FTA for a while so having the multiple LNBs was great. My wife wouldn't allow me to have a dish-farm, so, hehe, having the D* on the same dish was great. Even better, the signal capture is GREAT...

    Wiring for Dummies? toroid/multi/D* ACK!

    That's actually where I bought it. :) It appears the step that I was missing for the most part was the "combiner"... Thanks! --rob

    Wiring for Dummies? toroid/multi/D* ACK!

    ***EDIT*** Actually DirecTV will ship me a SAT-C upgrade kit for free (heh, plus 8$ shipping), so I believe I can use the combiner from that with my existing hardware and be all set! Thanks again for the reply! --rob

    Wiring for Dummies? toroid/multi/D* ACK!

    Hey all... I need a little advice on how to wire this bad boy up... currently I have a Wave Frontier T55 toroidal dish setup with 101W for DirecTV going to a Terk BMS-58 5x8 switch, and 110/119 for D*sh running thru a DisQue setup.. I would like to convert to a 100% DirecTV setup so I can...
