elgemcdlf - Yes I know there are just a few DN FTA channels (most of them music, NASA/ Golf and a few public service). I am trying to prove a concept to my wife before I go crazy and spending all kinds of money that I dont have. If we can get something off the existing antenna I have a better shot at going bigger (motorized and automatic satellite searching is on my that would be cool list)
wejones - Thanks.. I did not know DSS was
DTV ... I thought I read it was DN ... my bad... Yes the DPPlus seems to be a 4 port switch to which the
installer ran down 2 cables (I had 4 in place but he used only 2) ... then he put on some sort of Dishnetwork Seperator... I am guessing this is doing some sort unstacking like you were talking about.. it have a Tuner 1 and Tuner 2 designation on the outputs, I have tried connecting the starbox to all tuner inputs and directly to the cable run as well... but still get absolutely no signal what soever...
I am beginning to think this Starbox was a returned item and is fried ... but I am still hoping someone can give me a few more things to test/try etc... -Tim
