    Setup for 6 Separate Signals

    Currently I am running 2 VIP722 with only 2 lines coming in from satellite into house sending 4 separate signals to the 722s (2 TV1's, 2 TV's) through a couple diplexers. We would like to add another VIP722 for home theater and bedroom in basement that are separate signals from the other 2...

    Is My TV's OTA Tuner Crap?

    Thanks splat10...simple, yet effective. It works like a charm with a standard splitter. Lesson learned - go back to basics.

    Is My TV's OTA Tuner Crap?

    Tried an amp...one powered and one non-powered. The powered one worked the best, but still didn't get as clear of a picture than just straight TV2 into TV. Is the diplexer crap? All the amps and diplexer are from Radio Trash. Using channel 21...lowest channel I can.

    Is My TV's OTA Tuner Crap?

    From reading other posts...I was under the impression that the OTA antennae signal and modulated satellite TV2 feed were on different frequencies hence the need for the diplexer? I have one modulated TV2 line coming into bedroom and antenna feed coming into bedroom...what do I use to combine...

    Is My TV's OTA Tuner Crap?

    To all..thanks for the advice. Yes, I am referring to the HD TV w/ built in tuner. I did figure out how to do the search (not very intuitive on this model...but figured it out)...and was able to receive my HD locals. Now for the kicker...I used a diplexer and it downgraded the TV2 modulated...

    Is My TV's OTA Tuner Crap?

    Only one input. I have to change the installation settings in the TV setup menu as it is either set to antenna or cable. I ensure antenna is selected. Plug in the same OTA feed from my antenna that was plugged into the DISH 942. Tune to channel 43-1 which is FOX in my area (the strongest HD...

    Is My TV's OTA Tuner Crap?

    It doesn't matter where I live (but if you want to know...zip is 61761)...I can get all my local HD channels from my antenna when I run into the 942 receiver. I am unable to get them when I plug the same antenna feed into the HD TV with built in tuner. I do nothing different to the antenna...

    DISH 942 OTA & TV2 Combined ?

    I assume by combing the TV2 signal (non-HD) and the OTA signal that you will only pull non-HD channels from the OTA...correct? How do the OTA channels integrate with the satellite guide on TV2 or do they? I have two HD tvs and one Dish 942. I have 2 separate OTA tuners (indoor) that work just...

    What Would You Do?

    I currently lease a Dish 942 w/out HD...using only for OTA (and can get all locals). Just added another HD TV. Would you buy another 942 to get OTA to new HD tv? OR buy an additional 622 and tradeup the 942 for the 622 to Dish? Any suggestions?
