Doesn't Starband offer installation services? If so, a qualified satellite technician should have the proper tools to determine what is needed to get line of sight.

If you are building a new home, you should contract a low voltage contractor and have your home wired correctly. It is unwise to wire a new home just for equipment setup you have now, and not plan for the future. Believe me, your equipment setup will change over the years. Besides, it will...

If the receivers are H20's, the signal strength shows less than other Directv receivers. And your installer should have known this. It is a well known issue with the H20. Al

If you are talking about IR RF extenders (the cones), they are all basically the same. The most reliable IR extender I have seen is the Xtra Link 2 by Xantech. It has an IR receiver that connects to existing coax line, and at the receiver end, a coupler that allows you to extract the signal...

If you are using 18" dish, you will need a 4 way multiswitch in order to have a hook up for each room. If you are using a Phase 3 or AT9 antenna, you will connect cables directly to antenna, as both P3 and AT9 dishes have 4 connections. Al

Please be more specific regarding your satellite carrier, the type of receivers (DVR, dual tuner, etc...), the number of receivers, the dish antenna, etc... so your question can be answered properly. Alan

We use wall fish products from B.E.S. Cut a hole for a remodel single gang box where you want the outlet, and use a Piranhabit http://www.fiberfish.com/Piranhabits.htm with the Steering Guide to drill through the bottom plate of the wall. You can also use a Bellhanger bit from the same site...

The only specs P10 list for the PVAMP1 are as follows: (from P10 Catelog 20, page 85) * Freq Range: 950-2150 MHz * Provides 20 dB Gain * Powered by Sat Rec 13-18 VDC This is the same basic information printed on the amp itself.

Toshiba also made a DST3100, which upgraded the DST 3000 Alan

The DISH Pro LNBF's have a D shaped mount, while the DirecTV dish needs the rectangle shaped mount for the LNBF's. The other problem is the non standard 110 WL LNBF for DirecTV.

Here's mine: Direcway .98 cm dish antenna DISH Network SuperDISH 105 DISH Network 61.5 dish (Old VOOM dish with DishPro LNBF) DirecTV Phase 3 Oval Dish All on 2.5" OD Rigid Pipe, and an old Primestar plastic enclosure for the ground blocks

You may try to use a bullet amp (in line amp) and see if it helps. My guess is that it is the total length of cable that is your problem. If you want to troubleshoot, go to Home Depot, and purchase 150' or so of Quad RG6, solid copper conductor cable and some ends, and run a temporary line...

I know of no way you could get an HD signal from your basement to your plasma set, short of using 3 of the RG6 cables as component cables (by putting RCA ends on them). This also will not address the audio. You will begin to have problems sending the component signal if the distance is too far...

An amplified antenna typically will not work if it is not powered. The station you are receiving may be powerful enough that your coax running to the antenna is acting as an antenna itself. Yes, your Voom receiver probably was powering the antenna. A DBS receiver of any kind output between...

The most likely culprit is the multiswitch. How long are your runs on the right side of the switch? Al

One more thing. To aim the antenna, you will aim the antenna toward the broadcast tower with the antenna wings 90 degrees left and right of line of sight. The Winegard logo should face the towers. Al

You should have a small black box which is your power supply. This is what the Voom installer probably took. It has a power cord, and two F81 (coax) connections. It also has a red light that powers when connected. The part number is PS-9370. The diplexer allows you to use the satellite...

We have had problems lately with older RCA receivers losing satellite signal. In every case, it was the receiver, which we replaced. Hughes, on the other hand, have been solid. Al

"the even transponders are the 13 volt side!!!" A DBS LNBF receives odd transponders with Right Hand Circular Polarity, the even with Left Hand Circular Polarity. The receiver sends a 13V current to the LNBF to power the odd or RH transponders, 18V for the even or LH transponders. Again...

:o :o :o :o :o "the even transponders are the 13 volt side!!!" Boy, did I goof! Yes Bob, you are correct about the evens being 13V. I do know better. Thank you for the correction! BTW, we have replaced quite a few RCA receivers lately due to loss of even transponders. Al

One more thing. If you use the DPP44 switch, you need to first connect the 921 without the switch inserted, and force a download. The 921 does not come with software support for the DPP44 installed. You must upgrade to the L211 software in order for the 921 to function correctly with the...

You have either cabling or connection problems. The LNBF is not receiving the 18V necessary to trigger the even transponders from the receiver in question. Check for water damage at your ground block outside. Al

You either need to cascade 2 DP34 switches, and run two ports to both of your dual tuner receivers (diplexing the OTA through one of the cables), or purchase a DPP44 switch and 2 separators for your dual tuner receivers. This will allow you to run your OTA through the other cable. You will...

If your local digital channels are in the UHF band, you can usually not beat a Channel Master 4228 8 bay UHF antenna, combined with a Winegard AP8275 preamp. We have found the past few years that this combo is best for deep fringe digital signals. It will even work for VHF frequencies above...

You can use a diplexer to send satellite signal one direction and OTA the other. We do it all the time. Al
