    DTV Off-Air Antenna

    I don't know what DTV is offering but I just hooked up my Winegard Squareshooter yesterday and I'm pretty blown away. I'm picking up stations that I didn't know existed and my local CBS HD looks better than the DirecTV CBS HD feed. It's worth the extra few bucks to get the amplified version.

    diplexer problem

    I just had that problem yesterday. In my case it was a powered antenna and my theory is that there was too much of a power drain between the switch and the receiver due to the antenna. I finally found a configuration for the power adapter for the antenna that allowed me to see the satellite...

    New Installation w/amplified OTA antenna

    Yes, I'm a newb. I have the installers coming out this week to install my new Triple LNB Dish w/HR-10 250. I bought a Winegard SquareShooter SS-2000 (the amplified model) and two Terk diplexers. I will require two drops to the HR-10 250 and I obviously want to diplex the antenna feed on one...

    New To High Definition Satellite ...

    That's good to hear. With the NBC HD announcement and ABC HD coming soon I wish I hadn't ordered the OTA antenna. With the shipping costs it's just not worth it for me to send it back. I didn't know DirecTV offered antennas. I bought my setup from Valueelectronics.com and my Wineguard...

    New To High Definition Satellite ...

    I just ordered a DirecTivo system tonight (switching from Dish) with the Triple LNB. I will only have one dual tuner HD Tivo. I am also purchasing a Wingard Squareshooter OTA antenna to mount on the dish. I'm trying to figure out which diplexer to order and I'm not sure if I need a single...

    Need Advice - Moving E* to D*

    FYI - I contacted Sonora Designs directly today about their stacking/destacking equipment. Apparently it does not do the job for the HD DirecTivo that requires access to all three orbital slots. You would still need two cable runs. The equipment will work with all other DirecTivos, however.

    Need Advice - Moving E* to D*

    mini1, The Sonora Dual DIRECTV® DStacker for TiVo Receivers (D575D) looks perfect and would be worth every penny but I'm going to have to plead ignorance on getting it done. I'm looking at the home installations on Sonora's website and it looks like I may need more than the D575D alone. As...

    Need Advice - Moving E* to D*

    Hey guys, I've decided to make the switch from E* to D* too so that I can get a DIRECTV HD DVR HR10-250. My only concern is the cabling. Does D* offer any solutions like E* for single cable runs. I will just have the one dual tuner receiver but I would rather not drill a bigger whole in the...
