    Hd Ota

    You don't say where you are but almost all the DTV broadcasts are UHF. So you may want to see how well you can pull in the strongest UHF channels. Some people have better results with UHF DTV than VHF analog indoors. But some DTV stations are not at full power in many areas. The best...

    Please help!

    You don't even need the DP34 switch to install the system if you are just hooking up the 322. See if your system came with the instructions for assembling and mounting the Dish500. If you're sure you have line of sight to the satellite orbital locations at 110 & 119 degrees you ought to be able...

    Newbie here, looking to get satellite...DirecTV or Dish Network

    Gosh, can't someone just tell us once and for which satellite TV service is better? A lot of us can't decide for ourselves. I worry a lot about whether I went the right way, too. After all, it's all so complicated and once you go one way or the other you're stuck forever. I think I'm going...

    5 receivers to one dual LNB dish - How?

    The easiest & cheapest solution is to put up another Dish500 for your 5th (and potential 6th) receiver(s). You have 2 other alternatives: Replace the 2 dual LNBFs with a legacy QUAD, split the 4 outputs with 950-1450Mhz splitters, and install a 2nd SW44. Convert everything to the DishPro...

    How do i get into Aux menu? (dishnetwork)

    If you program a DISH remote to work your TV before setting it up for another component (i.e., DVD, stereo receiver, etc.) the AUX button will do just what you say - it becomes a TV "Power" button. If you want the AUX function to operate anything else see the list of codes in the manual.

    What retailers carry Winegard SquareShooter?

    What an ignorant remark. Quite possibly, where you live an omni antenna is called for, even if it's indoor. But your reception conditions are not the same as everybody else. In my area, with all the DTV transmitters in the same place 25~35 miles away, the SS-1000 works perfectly. It's...

    cant pick up any local channels at all

    Just connecting the the sat coax to the "Antenna In" is worse than nothing. They could have run a new cable from the OTA antenna to the "Antenna In" but the easier and more economical method is to combine the antenna and satellite with a diplexer on the existing Sat TV cable and then seperate...

    Dish Reception help

    You should be using the S-Video and stereo audio cables for the best picture & sound anyway. Picture quality will vary from channel-to-channel due to digital compression even if you have a high signal from the satellite. Artifacts will be magnified on a big screen TV. Chances are you need to...
