Hi
I just got my Dish 6000 + 8VSB after a long wait. I hooked it up to the HS10 component input and switched the 6000 to HD mode.
I am using the cable coming from the antenna on the roof of my high rise building. The cable from the wall socket is not RG6 it is whatever cable the cable company gives out. There is nothing between my building and the WTC so there should be a clear signal.
Anyway I got zero signal on DTV so I then tried to scan for analog channels. I got a signal on 13 analog channels in NYC.
Then I tried to scan for DTV channels again and again. I got zero each time.
Am I missing something or some step? If I can get a clear signal on all analog shouldn't I get something on at least a few of the digital channels?
The antenna was probably put up 10-12 years ago so I don't know what type it is or if it could be pre-digital?
Any suggestions would be helpful otherwise I just wasted a lot of money on the Dish 6000 equipment.
So far I have also had no success pointing the Dish 300 towards the 61.5. I am using 41 elevation and trying to point to 174 azimuth. I may have to resort to an installer
Thank you
