This may be quasi-legal for channels 51 and below and will soon be DEFINITELY illegal for 52-69 come 2/17, but I'd like to add an A/B switch on my second set, with one side going to the second set, and the other to an antenna. Said antenna would then broadcast an ol-fashun analog signal about 30 feet to another set on the back deck, which then of course would have the UHF remote to tune the 2nd Dish tuner.

How many milliwatts are present at the 2nd set RF output would be the big question. So, is there enough signal to at least use small directional UHF antennas at each end in case of an itty bitty 1 milliwatt signal? Or in the case of 10 or 20 mW signal...how would I attenuate signal to a point where I'd cease to be a neighborhood broadcaster? Also how resistant is the Dish RF modulator to VSWR mismatches?
