Has anyone had any success with using coax to power a 4X8 multiswitch and having to use a flat coax (the piece that allows it to go through a window with it shut)? The installer is here now and I'm having issues with it seeing the even transponders and was wondering if that could cause it. I have no choice but to use flat coax as I have no power outlet outside. The green light comes on the multiswitch just fine.

Both the DTivos won't see 110 and only see a few transponders of 119 and 110, the odd ones.
 
Hehe, problem wasn't the multiswitch. The problem was a bad grounding block.

All is well and all 5 tuners (both on both DTivos and the one on the HTL-HD) are functioning normally.

I'm still having issues with the DTivo's dialing out over my Vonage line but because I also have latency issues there's nothing more that Vonage can do. The guy who is a Tivo expert that works for Vonage tried all he could.
