Satellite Receiver Hookup

[Richard Hayden]

Tom,
I tried that and had trouble, no signal getting through the existing. And, the
sat receiver was up front along with a new flat screen with 3 inputs. You may
be right, I just was not willing to do more wiring. We took the tv out of the
bedroom so distribution was not an issue there and we don't have a tv outside in
a bay. Now when we want to watch local over the built-in WL antenna system we
simply change to that input on the tv and switch the bat wing knob as
appropriate, (tv or cable). Then change to a different input for the sat and
yet a different input for the DVD. I can't remember why I couldn't get the sat
signal through the built-in wiring system. CRS again, that was last year.
Thanks for keeping me straight though Tom.

Not true Dick. Go from your satellite system to the sat receiver and
then from the receiver to your switch box provided by BB. Then the
output of the sat receiver can go to all of the outputs provided by BB.
