Question sent in by Ted about Satellite TV in an RV

Are there differences between home based satellite systems and those used in RVs? Any difference in costs, reception while traveling (not actually moving but in sites), hook ups, etc?

Question mailed in by Jean about independent viewing on each TV

I know at one time, if you had satellite everyone had to view the same program. If I have 4 receivers does that mean we can look at 4 different programs?

Thank you

add 3rd tv to dish 522 setup

» add 3rd tv to dish 522 setup
Filed under:   Posted By: billyd @ 10:51 pm

Hello,

I have a dish 522 dvr system and am real happy with it. I wanted to know if it is possible to add a 3rd tv to the system. I was thinking of simply splitting the signal on the VHF/UHF and feeding it to 2 tvs, and picking up a UHF remote. When I tried this only 1 tv works. Am I missing something or living in fantasyland?

Thanks a bunch


Satellite & Cable on the same line, revisited

» Satellite & Cable on the same line, revisited
Filed under:   Posted By: hirsp1 @ 5:10 pm

I’ve got a Dishnetwork 522 DVR. It has two tuners…the idea being I could watch the 2nd tuner from anywhere in the house. And, it works great. However, we also have cable TV (it’s a broadband thing). We use the cable for our local channels.

The DVR’s 2nd tuner can be set for a specific channel (usually something that doesnt’ conflict with your cable company’s offerings). I’m looking for a hardware recommendation that would combine the two channels into one signal. This could be a single 2-in/1-out piece, or a distribution device that would run multiple TVs.

Any suggestions?


I want to use my Direct TV at my Vacation Home

Filed under:   Posted By: kapsat @ 10:35 am

Question From D.B.D. about using a house receiver in a vacation home

I currently have an account with DirectTV. And I have several receivers hooked up in various rooms. I would like to take one of my receivers and install it in another location (vacation house). I know I need a new sat dish. But what kind of cable and other connectors would I need to acquire in order to hook it up to an old cable-tv infrastructure outside the house so I can get it to the TV inside via the old cable TV cabling system?

And do you sell all of that stuff? And for how much? I’m guessing I’d need the dish, about 40 feet at the most of the sat cable, and I’d need whatever kind of adaptor needed to attach into my old cable system where it goes into my house.

Thanks.

Trees are Blocking My Direct TV Dish

Question Emailed From Joe about his neighbors tree

Dear Sir
I am currently a DirecTV customer who does not have a clear view of the southwestern sky. A neighbors tree blocks the local satellite (119)so that we can not get a strong enough signal to receive local channels. I am hoping the the Dish network may use a different satellite and therefore allow us to get local channels. You represent both companies and therefore may be able to help. We live in Albany, which is just south of Bethel.

Thanks
Joe A.
