I have Dish Network that is distributed to a secondary TV via coax on channel 60 and would like to use a antenna connected to receive local HD. I have found indoor antennas that passthru the signal, but all require a switch to be toggled to change from the auxillary coax to the antenna source. How can I can do this without a switch? The best location for my antenna is behind my TV, which makes accessing the switch to flip it difficult.

Thanks.

I have found indoor antennas that passthru the signal An antenna receives signals and sned them down throug a cable. Nothing more. No idea what you are talking about other than some 'gimmick' BB, CC or RS would try to sell.

Indoor antennas (other than in an attic or crawl space), are usually unless you are close to all of your transmitters. Not knowing where you are, I have no idea of your reception options.

How far away is your 2nd set? What type of house or building? Do you have a attic or crawl space? Roof access?

I am looking for set of "rabbit ears" that I can locate behind the TV that will passthru the signal from my Dish Network receiver that is distributed via coax on Channel 60. My TV has a single coax input which is currently connected to the Dish Network feed. I would like to have an antenna connected to the TV to get local channels in HD with the Dish Network feed connected to the antenna. So far the antennas that I have found to locate behind the TV require a switch to be toggled to choose between the auxiliary feed (Dish Network) and the antenna feed.

Assuming you have no over-the-air channels near (58-62) Channel 60, a Channelmaster Jointenna combined with any antenna will do what you <strike>want</strike> are asking for.

You have a pretty wide range of channels that they give you to choose from to use - it doesn't have to be 60. 60 is just the default. You can reset it through the receiver's menu. I think the range is 20-something to 69.

I had mine set to 58, and when I lost the power last night for a stretch, it had defaulted back to 60 when it came back on (this is how I learned).

Boy, where was that poster about his IR controlled A-B switch. Just get this

http://www.radioshack.com/sm-remote-control-a-b-switch--pi-2049643_tb-techSpecs.html

which is a remote controlled switch. Plug your antenna into port B, and your regular line into port A and with the remote you can toggle which you want to view. When you switch to your regular antenna your TV is going to think you still get in all the channels of your dish and trying to "scroll" up or down through the channels will stop at many you don't have when on antenna.
