Thanks, Al. That's what I was hoping.

I was informed this morning after subscribing to programming which includes local channels that I will need a second dish for them. I currently have a triple-LNB dish with two separate RG6 lines feeding two receivers. I have a question regarding the connection of the second dish: Will the...

Last night I finally found some time to work on this again, and just wanted to post a follow-up. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and participation. The problem was indeed my homemade F-connectors. I hadn't kept the shielding away from the center wire. I went back through and fixed...

For a given receiver, my path looks like this: 1 cable from dish to grounding block 1 cable from grounding block to wall jack 1 cable from wall jack to receiver Is this too many? If so, I'll need to eliminate either the wall jack or the grounding block.

No, I haven't split any of the cables. I have two separate lines going from the dish to the grounding block, and from the block to a double jack. From the jack, I will feed one receiver on my first story and one in my basement.

I made one long line into two short ones by cutting it in half. I bought 75' of RG6 when I began this project, and I've been cutting off pieces (and adding F-connectors) as necessary to span my distances. When I mounted the dish, I chose a location off my first floor roofline (I have a split...

Great suggestion, Uboat. I was generally not careful to keep the braided shielding away from the center wire, so I will take a look at all of my homemade fittings.

Brian, Thank you for the suggestions. I will pick up a signal finder. I checked the connections and they are all tight. Last night, I took off my F-connectors from the cables entering the grounding block and stripped back more insulation to lengthen the copper wire. I had thought that...

Hello, I am in the process of installing DirecTV in my home. I installed a double coax jack and connected that to a double coax grounding block outside my home. I then ran a single, long line from my grounding block to my dish and was able to get varying signals up to 76 (sat 101). I then...
