OTA with Dish Network

I long time ago I had Direct TV, I had 4 tv,s on it. On the back of the dish was a multiplextor that had a connector on it for OTA. I used it and it worked fine.

Now I have dish and wish to do the same. I do not have a mutiplexer to connect the OTA to, How would I do it.

I wish to use the OTA using the same wire the the dish uses. Can this be done?

Thanks
John

Ok let's see if I have this right.

This what I have right now ( that dish installed )

Outside the house coming off the dish there are 2 wires.

One goes to a diaplexor (sat in)

out goes to the dvr.

Tv out goes to tv 2

On the back of the dvr there is a diaplexor and a separator.

The other dish wire goes to tv 3 & 4 ( I do not need to touch those).

So outside where do I connect the new diaplexor for my antenna?

Inside where do I need to connect the new diaplexor?

It sounds like the installer might have used diplexors to feed tv2. In other words they are feeding the TV2 signal back up the sat cable (maybe to a tv box on the side of your house) and then into the tv2 room.

The others are right about no digital OTA tuners in your boxes, are you wanting to use analog ota or do you have a tv with a digital tuner?

What I was trying to do was add another diaplexor to connect and OTA antenna to get the HD locals without running another rg6 wire under the house.

I guess I will run another rg6 under the house and then outside. The antenna I use right now is a white radio shack hdtv antenna. I works ok inside but I do get some drop outs. My guess is that by moving it outside it will work better.

You could try adding a splitter/combiner to each end of the run after the diplexors. The splitters lose some of the signal strength so you may need the new cable anyway.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

Honestly, I would rather see an expanded bracketed playoff system than the current Conference Championship Game + playoff model we're using right now. The Conference Championships essentially allow two teams to beat up on each other, and then both typically are going to end up in the playoffs anyway unless it is one of the weaker or smaller conferences. Let them play it out on the field against others.

Until the Big Ten changed thier alignment, (a couple years ago) ... it was not like that at all, the East side won most years the west side represented the Big Ten, but they may have been the team with the 4th best record ...
They finally changed that, to a single conference ... but yes, in most cases, both teams will get in ... now, its a certain both will get in ...

The biggest issue with the Conference Now is the Number of TEAMS .... WAY to Many.
It would take 2-3 YEARS to do a round robin where everyone would play one another ... How do you know how good a team is when teams don't play the same teams ?

I like the move to campus sites for the early games. That adds a fun new dimension for fans, and cuts down on some of the travel expenses that would come with having to follow a team all the way through the playoffs at neutral sites.

That'd be more than the FA Cup! Over 700 teams. It is also the most glorious tournament in the world.

Maybe it is time to get rid of the College Football season and just go to a tournament. 128 teams, fill in the bottom end with the lower division. Random draw (except the top 10 teams are in one bucket to draw from in the first and second rounds to avoid OSU v Alabama in the first round), go from 128 to 8. 4 games. Then the 8 remaining teams play 7 games against each other. Then the top two play for the title.

Finally! Some big movement in California diesel pricing (and no, there is no such beastie as a diesel "winter formula").

Crude (combined pricing) is around $90/barrel now, so prices should have, at least, fallen in step with the crude futures.

Just curious here.....then why is diesel so much higher out there than it is elsewhere. Bobby just posted $7.59/gal, locally it is $5.59.....that's two bucks difference. :eeek

California has a ~93¢ per gallon consumer tax rate on automotive diesel, along with significantly higher refinement standards.

The fact that consumers can only buy some new full-sized truck models and a couple of vans with diesel power makes the fuel an odd duck in refinery priorities.
