    Adding DirecTV to detached garage

    Thanks for the feedback guys! Directv is set to come out again tomorrow again at around 5-6 o'clock. Receivers are getting swapped out, and they said they could install a new splitter too, because mine is about 4 years old. They recommend replacement of the LNB, and splitter every two years I...

    Adding DirecTV to detached garage

    Incorrect. I was not confusing the splitter for a grounding block. I referred to it as a switch, as it's the same thing as a network switch but for rg6 cables. The garage is actually 43 feet from the house, measured on multiple occasions. Thank you for giving me the correct terms! Mine is...

    Adding DirecTV to detached garage

    ?Newby here, looking for some advice on trying to install directv into my mancave, aka my detached garage located about 45 feet behind my house. I already tried running a cable from the switch outside of my house to the garage but the box could not find a signal. The current setup is as follows...
