Thanks!

Quick question. I know the Off Air In is to receive local channels from antenna. But how would you access this via the menu's on the receiver? And would I be able to connect a standard cable connection (no digital box, just straight in the house) for viewing as well? I have not actually...

Ok, so good news and bad news then on this. Thanks a bunch. I was not even offered a SWM when they came to install the service with DVR to begin with. I wonder if I could take this up with Direct TV. If they would have done this to begin with I wouldn't have these issues. As a matter of...

With the DVR's, are there no other way to have dual tuner without having to run two lines to the DVR? Comcast and U-Verse (I think U-Verse) do this with one line. I already have a room with two (actually 4 lines) for my dual tuner dvr, but I am getting a new one for my daughters rooms, and...

Dang it! I think I'm just going to wait for a promotional offer or try to get them to give me a free upgrade to the sat and receiver.

So that's the reason for the elliptical dish? With these new birds to point out, still just up/down left/right, or is skew introduced like the Dish Network satellites?

I know I need the HD or HD DVR Receiver, and TV that is capable of viewing the signals (Sony 1080/24P 120 Htz) but what I am really looking to know is what sateliite dish do I need? I hear that I need a new one (Currently have 18" Round) that has more LNBF's required. Is it just the LNB or...

I using high quality RG6 with compression connectors. This line is the same line that has been in place for over a year now with just the satellite and it never had a single problem. It wasn't until I placed the diplexers in place and combined/split the signals that things went south. The line...

Yea, I'm using Holland Diplexers on both ends. The sat. works like a champ without the diplexers. I actually have about 12 holland diplexers so I've been able to eliminate a bad pair. I'm guessing I may need to simply make another run. I already have a pull string in place from the last...

Thank you. I have a twin DPP. It has worked, but I do notice acquiring sat signal alot now and not all the channels fromt he std. cable com across very well.

Comcast wouldn't happen to be one of them, would they?

Brand new Diplexers as of last week. The cable channels freeze up and the satellite does indeed go to aquiring signal.

I have Dish Network and Standard cable going over one run to my sat receiver and my TV via Holland diplexers. Both seem to have issues displaying picture every once in a while since I did this. Any reason why?

Thanks! You are awesome!

I have Dish Network going to only 1 receiver. The Dish is a 500 with Dual Pro LNB's. Obviously only one line is coming out to the receiver. I also have standard cable...no Digital Receiver as this is strictly standard. Can I use a diplexer (on each end, combine, then split) so I can only...

I have an 18" Round dish with Dual LNB Output Both lines are going to a 3X8 Multiswitch Outputs 1 and 2 go to the living room DVR Outputs 3 go to a standard recevier. I'd like to replace the standard receiver with a DVR, but do not want to run a second cable to this box. Can I use a...

Well in any event, I do appreciate the help and understanding. I wish I can offer advice, but my knowledge is from 14 years in Systems and Network engineering, so if you have questions on those topics, let me know. I feel more confident in my setup now. Thanks Guys!

Thanks, that statement just cleared up a lot of things for me. Now it makes sense for me to have to place both cables into the multiswitch and then output to all three receivers. Thesetup worked like a champ by the way. I only wish when I had this question presented to Direct TV they would...

So you are basically saying that I plug both cables into the 3X4 multiswitch that I have, then output the three lines I have (2 for dual tuner DVR, 1 for standrad receiver) and I should be good? So the LNB is a single LNB, but just has a dual output so this would not be a 1X2 multi switch to a...

I have an 18 inch round dish with what I believe to be a built in 1X2 switch that has two lines that go into a DVR. This was installed by Direct TV. I wanted to add a second receiver that is just a standard receiver, but I need help on how to install. Do I need another multiswitch? I have a...
