I live in an apartment complex, with my DTV satellite out on the balcony and the Terk TV44 clip-on. I know I know, but its done pretty well for me, considering I can't put up anything else. Anyways, I'm switching around channels today and my local digital channels are pretty blocky, audio goes in and out, picture freezes, etc. I go into the setup menu on my Hughes E86 and check the signal strength for the local digitals, and the 3 that I get are all in the 90s, high of 100 and lows of like 86. Shouldn't that mean a perfect picture?
Second question, how do you add an amplifier to my setup, when I have the OTA and satellite signals combined through the Terk diplexor, so only one coax cable is running to my Hughes box? I have the Winegard 2000 preamp, its a two-piece thing with the pre-amp and then the power source, and using this actually made the OTA reception worse. I had the terk going into the pre-amp, then the out from that going to the power source, then the out from the p.s. into the hughes box. Is there a better way to do it?
