Many companies, Telephone, Cable, and others offer great incentives to new customers but fail to do anything to keep current customers happy. It's a marketing strategy that escapes me. Pehaps they figure that existing customers are less likely to switch..so they offer great deals to lure new...

Anyone think Dish will offer these two in their HD packages by next year? I'm betting we will see in the Plat package.......

Wooo-hoo! Winegard AP-4700 arrived today....Installed it and checked channels. The VHF that was by-passed looks great and with higher signal strengths than I had with RS 10db amp. All the weaker UHF channels have bumped into the low to mid 90's with my PBS which was really low (60's) into the...

Ordered the Winegard AP-4700 from Summit Source. Should have it by week's end. I'll post the the results when I get it installed. I'm thinking it should work well as it will give a plus in db's at my first set rather than a big minus I've been getting. I was amazed to see the noise...

I did measurements of my actual cable runs from my antenna to the three TV sets I have connected. 1. 150 feet of RG6 coax from the antenna to my grounding block at the house entry 2. 41 feet from the entry to the first cable loop in the house. (I removed the splitter in that room as...

Thanks for all the info guys.....I understand now about the satellite hook up. Looks like the HDP 269 is the ticket for my application. Many thanks to you both again.

I'm not sure I understand the splitting and joining part of your post. I'm currently using my dish receivers to deliver my OTA signals to each TV (not using the TV set tuners at all). Right now I have two coax cables running each receiver, one carrying the satellite signals on "home runs"...

a Brainstorm? This just came to as a bolt out of the blue. My two Dishes (Dish regular and Dish HD) are located approx 50 feet from my antenna. Rather than using the old cable loops in the house for my OTA signals....couldn't get a dish guy to diplex (sp?) my OTA antenna signals with the Dish...

the quest continues Before I order the hdp 269 preamp, I figured I'd hit the local Radio Shack and try one of their in line signal amps. I picked up their 10db model with the little silver tube amp that goes out at the antenna and power injector that goes in the house. Installed it and my...

Installed a Winegard HD 7082 on a telescoping CM Mast. Have a 150' RG6 cable run from the antenna to the house wiring. I do not have an amp installed as of yet. I get a high of 99-100% signal strength on my only VHF station CBS (ch 11- freq asgnmt (9) and a low of 66% on UHF station ABC...

As a follow up to my post for anyone else who is interested in this issue I found out the following: Called Local electrical company...guy told me they have no codes concerning antennas or masts. He told me to contact my antenna manufacturer for guidance. Called Antenna manufacturer and...

Thanks for the answer. I will be calling my local electric company and see what they say. I have been doing a bit of research and found the following clip: Grounding the antenna by wendell carter The National Electric Code requires that the antenna structure be grounded to protect...

Can someone tell what I need to ground my antenna mast? I'm putting it's base on a small concrete pad next to my house and attaching the upper portion to the fascia with a mounting clamp. I will be bolting the lower portion of the mast on to a steel pipe sticking out of the concrete pad...

I need to buy about 160 feet of RG6 for my OTA antenna run outside. Been to a few places the the prices locally (Home Depot, Lowes, ACE) and the price differences are pretty amazing. I realize there are different quality cables..but the prices vary by as much a $.30 or more per foot in some...

Westinghouse has a 37 inch monitor that does the 1080P thing. It's priced right too. Seen it perform and the picture is pretty impressive. If you don't need a built-in turner..that's one to look at. Has some nice connectivity also. Not sure you will see any 1080P stuff at the 32" range...

I am starting to believe that Antenna Installation is an esoteric art rather than a science. The more I read, the more confused I become...lol Here's a little more information regarding my area as reference information. My neighbor (who lives two houses to the East of me on the same side...

My channel frequency assignments are 9 (CBS),15,33,35,41,45.

You've answered my posts under the thread "Pre-amp or not" regarding antenna size, etc....and my particular situation with dish and hi power lines. Before I ordered the Wingard HD7080..I thought I'd better check and make sure my placement wouldn't interfer with the dishes on my roof (learned...

I did not know that. Heard that Tampa had HD locals...I stand corrected.

Anyone know if this is ever coming? Miami Has them...Tampa has them. Emailed Dish to ask..their response was to ask me for my account number so they could better assist me......go figure. Emailed again with account number...now maybe they can BETTER assist me.

Pertinent Information: Zip code 34135.. (only interested in digital signals) 100' RG6 from antenna to house connection.....(otherwise I'm in the hi-power lines) 3 TVs on cable loop through house (figure approx 100' more of RG6 added for the loops inside the house) Two Dish VIP211 receivers...

Ralfguy, The one thing I failed to mention in my previous post was that the other signals I was receiving (Fox, ABC NBC) were all in the high 80's and low 90's with the 811 receivers, Since changing to 211's I still receive these three stations with the same signal strengths as I had with...

Okay...I'll check them out...they look to be huge fringe area antennas. You think I need something that has a boom length of over 100 inches for a 35 mile distance?

I live in Bonita Springs FL 34134....furthest transmission tower is 35 miles North. All stations I want to receive are due North of my home within 5-6 degrees on a spread of each other. Channel numbers range for 11 to 49. I was getting all the digital stations (that's ll I'm interested in)...

Similar Problem Hi Brain, I just swapped out two 811's for two Vip 211's and had a similar issue. I have a small Audiovox Terk HDTVo antenna mounted directly to my dish mast...with a 100 feet of RG 6 cable connected to my original cable wiring in the house (the loop through method using...
