Help!
I live in a condo complex and we have a "master dish" on the roof. The feed goes to a box in the basement of our complex where it is split by the local installer to each of our units.
When he installed my unit, he plugged one wire from the master feed in the basement (I'm assuming it connects to a switch) to a 510 in the living room.
He then took a second line and sent that from the basement up to a bedroom for a 301 that's in there.
So... I decided to remodel, and I've now put the 301 into a different bedroom. To make things easy, I wired a bit of coax from the living room into that room.
Now, if I plug in just the 510 into the line going to the basement (where the installer's switch is), I get a great signal. If I plug just the 301 in, I also get a great signal.
Now here's the wierd part.
I split the signal using a radio shack 2.4ghz splitter. The 301 likes the signal... it sees everything.
The 510 doesn't. During a switch test, it gives "warning -- only one satellite" and only displays a few of the channels that I subscribe to.
If I unplug the 301, the 510 acts like normal and sees everything and I get all my channels again.
I thought maybe I had some bad coax, but the same thing happens if I change coax line to the 510.
Ideas??
Thanks,
