Hi All,
I have a Terk 5x8 switch I purchased a few months ago that I use with my D* oval dish. Up until now this has worked great.
Recently I purchased a Samsung HDTV D* receiver and I'm in the process of setting up an antenna to receive local Hi-Def channels. My understanding is that I can feed the output from the antenna into the 5x8 on one side and use a diplexer to split the satellite from the antenna feed on the other side. However, this is not working.
When I set things up as stated above, I only get the signal from the antenna out of the diplexer. If I disconnect the antenna output from the diplexer, I then get the signal from the satellite. I would like to know what might be going on here.
I've tried 2 separate diplexers and they both exhibit the same behavior. Any trouble shooting suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.
Dan
