    HR20-100S remote RF antenna

    Thanks for all the replies. I tried a piece of 3' coax that had a connector on one end. Didn't work. I'll try stripping a 6" piece tomorrow. I already have the remote, so I'm not going to buy another one for $30. Besides, DirecTV said their antenna was $30. Didn't you see that part of my post...

    HR20-100S remote RF antenna

    The remote's a CR65R and the DirecTV support person said it was RF capable. It had a sticker on the back that I promptly removed and threw away because the corners were uncomfortable, but yes, I believe it mentioned the FCC. I hate to spend $30 on an antenna when the previous receiver we got...

    HR20-100S remote RF antenna

    I'm cranky that they didn't include the remote RF antenna in the box. Is it possible to just stick a hunk of coax on there and get reception from the remote? Would the shielding need to be removed (in which case it'd just be a length of wire making contact with the internal conductor)? I don't...

    Using diplexers the other direction

    Groovy, I got it working. It ended up being a bad short patch cable I had between the splitter and diplexer. Thanks for mentioning the debugging process. That should've been the first thing I tried, being a software engineer, amateur electrical geek, and former car stereo installer. :)...

    Using diplexers the other direction

    That sounds like the way I have it wired. But since explaining wiring diagrams in text can be misinterpretted, here's an image of the way I have it. http://homepage.mac.com/sjmills/sat-diagram.gif Does that look right to you? One other thing: Each diplexer came with an inline DC blocker and the...

    Using diplexers the other direction

    Yes, send the sat signal to a receiver, then split the output and send it back through the same cable, and diplex it out to another TV. So they're unidirectional, huh? Crap. My DirecTV installation guy said he's done this before. I wonder if I need special diplexers?

    Using diplexers the other direction

    Nobody has any thoughts on this?

    Using diplexers the other direction

    When the installer was here to put in our 3-LNB Terk dish, I asked him about watching the output from one receiver on a TV in another room. He said I could use diplexers to send the output of the receiver (after being split to the TV and a diplexer) back through the cable, then another diplexer...
