    Satellite Downfeed cables

    Here I go again. I am so uncertain as what to buy that I have to suspend my dtv service another two months. I have been doing some major research on types and specs of cables to use from the dishes lnb and into the receivers. RG6 Quad Shield Solid Copper Conductor Swept to 3Ghz is what a...

    Surge Protection

    Can anyone recommend surge protection for a DirecTV HD Satellite installation? I will also have a 2nd Satellite for locals. Total of 6 coaxials coming into the multiswitch. Of course, I would think that protecting prior to the MS would better insure that lightning doesn't take out the MS and any...

    Question with Coaxial Cable

    I was planning on using my newly purchased compression crimper and rg6 and purchasing compression connectors once I was certain as to the cable. My Quad Shield cable looks like every other coaxial I have seen from the end view. I will take a closer look tonight.

    Question with Coaxial Cable

    I went to menards this weekend and in the excitement of their 17% off sale, I purchased a roll of 500' Zenith Heavy Duty Quad Shielded RG6 Cable (ZDS5250 - pretty certain - similar to the 100' ZDS5214 just longer). All sites are saying that is has been tested upto 2300Mhz. Is that okay for...

    grounding blocks

    houses near by all use some sort of tower, except for the tall 2+ story harm houses and victorians. My house is a manufactured home as tall as some neighbors garages. By putting up the HDTV antenna, I would like to have the best odds of receiving programming from all networks and some are upto...

    grounding blocks

    Also, is there a maximum number of connections that I should keep in mind when planning this system when using RG6? I would imagine that each block and connector takes away from the efficiency of the cable. thanks, RJ

    http://www.iowatelecom.net/~phone3196944600/ I just updated my website (2nd one in my life). I work with networks, I really sit down to create webpages. I think I will have to try this more often. This is fun. http://www.iowatelecom.net/~phone3196944600/ Click on The Layout!

    I need expertise

    Oh. So I guess RG6 is more what I need. RG11 sticks in my head from my days in college as standard coaxial and then I never heard of RG6 until now, thinking that it would be better to use RG11 because of the less interference. I am really hoping that RG6 can do the job. Eric, do you agree on the...

    I need expertise

    I noticed while surfing that RG11 seems to have lower attenuation than does RG6. If I understand things correctly would better be suited for a 150' run. By running a total of 7 RG11's (4) for HDTV DirecTV dish + (2) for my local satellite channels + (1) for my Antenna (HDTV and SD + FM), I will...

    I need expertise

    Hi, I concider myself fairly technical but my focus went to computer networking in college and now I find that setting up satellite systems and home theatres beyond the included cables to be too much for me. I am planning on installing an antenna tower outside my house along the back of a...
