Does anyone know where I can get a channel 25 uhf bandpass filter?
I need to combine another uhf antenna in an opposite direction to get KET from kentucky to add to my antenna system.

Right now I have a stacked array of UHF Yagi's combined with a splitter ran backward as a combiner and a low noise amp mounted at the antenna mast.

I have another antenna up pointed toward KET and they have 4 channels on uhf 25.

When I tried to just combine the signals it caused my existing locals to drop signal percentage and KET didn't even come in the house.

I was introducing too much multipath and noise I am assuming.

I am at 25702. I found out the call sign channel is "25" BUT the actual channel is something else. I forgot about tvfool.com. I will check it out. I was getting 70% quality on that channel with a DTV converter box on a handheld tv just under the antenna. It was really touchy however , I could rotate the antenna just a couple of degrees and lose it completely.

That would be WKAS DT26 in Ashland.The only KET I still need to log.Should be able to find filter somewhere for 26.I think the closest channel you have to 26 is WSAZ on 23.

You need a channel 26 filter, not 25.

yes I figured that out. That channel is actually 26. I thought of one option I have and I have the equipment on hand.

Go ahead and put up another high gain UHF yagi, run a seperate RG-11 quad cable from the antenna to another ground block before it enters through the foundation wall of my house, to another HD ota samsung receiver. The additional receiver will only be programmed for WKAS DT 25.1 - 25.4.

run componet video/audio cables to the unused componet video switcher that I already have in place.

That way I just turn off the pansat 9200 HD and the video switcher will automatically choose the ports the samsung HD is connected to.

I have a long mast and will put the WKAS antenna up at the top higest since it is my weaker station.

That should work for me without the channel band pass filter. I figure honestly the less componets and the shorter the cable probably the better. Eliminate some insertion loss.

Thanks for all the help.

That's a great solution.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Great ending, but it ran in circles most of the season.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
