Hopefully, someone can help me out -
*
Here's what I have:
*
-1 receiver for the bedroom and the living room (Bedroom has the receiver)
*
-ABC Switch that shows A (CATV),*B(TV/Game), C (VCR)*- CATV (A)*taking the cable feed,*TV/Game (B)*taking the Satellite feed in the living room. Nothing like that in the bedroom. (The purpose is to switch between DISH and local cable in the living room ONLY)
*
The output going into the VCR IN FROM ANTENNA and VCR OUT TO TV going into the back of the TV.
*
When I program the VCR to search for channels, it will only pickup either the Satellite feed of the CATV feed. I was informed that if I auto-search the channels in the VCR through the CABLE feed and manually search for*the Satellite Channel 60 through the antenna feed, then everything will work. This will not work.
*
I've contacted a few satellite shops around here but, no*one know what I am trying to explain to them.
*
I've contacted DISH support and they forwarded me to the local techs in this area..........but, they don't help.
