    DirecTV and FiOS National HD Comparison

    Actually they currently broadcast 50 or so channels in analog CATV format (well, at least in my area) which means you can simply plug the coax from the ont right into your tv and get those channels. However, this is soon to change due to the huge amount of space the analog channels take. This is...

    Stripping RG6 Quad

    I didn't install the quad shield. It was installed when my house was built. I needed to know because I am adding a fourth room to my directv system.

    Combine rf channel 3 with ota and satellite

    I tried the splitter deal, but it did not work very well for me. I set the vcr to channel 4 (channel 3 is in use on the ota) and the vcr came in very well, but the analog ota came in fuzzy on most channels and the digital ota did not come in at all. I guess I will have to use one of those combiners.

    Combine rf channel 3 with ota and satellite

    Yes, I want to combine the ota signal and vcr signal onto one line, then into a diplexor. But I guess it will not work because of the rf interference.

    Combine rf channel 3 with ota and satellite

    I would like to know if it is possible to combine an ota signal with an rf channel 3 signal from my vcr together with a 2-way splitter. I have attached a diagram that will make it easier to understand.

    Local Channels Compressed

    Yep, both Dish and Directv compress the hell out of the local channels. I pick up the Tampa Bay digital feeds with an ota antenna and the quality is way better.
