i want HD everywhere, but how to do it?!?!

[Quantum]

What you have to do is buy two 2700 receivers for each room. This way you can have picture-in-picture!

Get three network cables for each receiver to connect all the receivers together.

Then buy an 18" dish on eBay and nail it to a 2x4, then set it on your roof. Aim it at 119 -- it's easy! Just look at where the Sun is at exactly 12:00 noon, and aim it there.

Run one RG-59 cable through the roof into the house and connect it to a splitter with enough connections to feed all your receivers.

You'll be watching hi-def in no time!

Feel free to come back and ask us if you have any questions. No need to ask anywhere else.

Trying to be funny fail.

Hey, just trying to help the guy...

You can too.

 

[pfan1981]

You can't split a satellite signal like that.

Really, he said he did this at his house. You can't combine your sat and OTA signals into one coaxial.

My locals are 2, 5, 11, 26, and 32. So I can run my sat on 73 correct? I am so confused

 

[rcdallas]

You need to go back to the chicken scratch diagram I made for you.

Everything you need to do resides behind your 622 with two splitters and a 1' long jumper.

Set your modulator to Air, CH60 Menu 6-1-5.

Now instead of your tv2 being on ch73, it will be on 60 AIR, not cable.

 

[Quantum]

Oh for Heaven's sake, don't listen to the n00bie, pfan.

Just stick to the plan.

 

[pfan1981]

You'll need (2) two way splitters and a short coax jumper.

You'll need to set your tv2 modulated output to a different channel that is not in use on your antenna, put a good separation between the channels.

Here's a half baked diagram

Let me draw a better diagram that represents my 622. Because it confuses the heck out of me.........

[ame][/ame]

I don't believe I can do your drawing based on my drawing. I need to combine the SATELLITE and the OTA HD ANTENNA into one one signal with a combiner?????? based on this drawing......



Thanks for the insight and hopefully my new drawing of the back of the vip622 will help. Will the last picture work?

Try this

 

[pfan1981]

I'll try this tonight! the back of my 622 will look like a giant maze when I'm through! Thanks for all the help and I'll let you know how it goes.

Good one, rcdallas...

Question... in that diagram does that broadcast out your TV2 output via the antenna? I know it wouldn't be strong and your neighbors would probably never find it.

 

[Quantum]

That's not the only problem...

(And the neighbors certainly would see it)

Yes it would, which is why such a connection would be a violation of Federal law. Granted, someone would have to complain, but I can just see some kid half a block away figuring out that they can pick up a new channel on their antenna-only TV. Then mom comes in and hears cussing, or sees a boob or something and throws a fit, and starts making phone calls.

It sounds dumb, but dumber things have happened.

Keep your OTA line seperate! Running one more line of cable isn't that hard.

 

[kb7oeb]

My antenna feed is split to my main tv before mixing in the modulated signal and I do not see any signal from the modulator on that tv at all.

 

[pfan1981]

split my OTA HD antenna when it first came into the house and ran a new line to my bedroom. I have a new 612 receiver in there so now both the living room and the bedroom have complete HD service!

Couldn't be more happy!

Prolly going to drop my locals (save $5) and what about dropping insurance ($5)????

pfan

 

[rcdallas]

Insurance can be added when you need it.

 

[Pepper]

Be aware, if you drop locals service from Dish, your Dish receivers with OTA will no longer get guide info for the OTA channels. They will show as "Digital Service" and you would have to set manual timers.

 

[pfan1981]

pepper, you beat me to it! I assumed this was true and would be the case.

So now the question is........"is it worth $5 for the guide on your locals?".........my vote is yes.

[pfan1981]

guy at DISH technical said I could drop the locals and still have the program guide info!?!?!??!!?!?

I'm so confused.....

Nope... do a search here and you'll find out that is not true.
