I had posted question a while ago about splitting my direct tv outputs for two dvr's....My weingard carry out satellite dish has two outputs. I have two dvr's, so I 'need' 4 cable inputs...2 for each dvr.
Was told to use a multiswitch. Bought a 3 x 4 (2 sat. cables in, one reg. cable- in and 4 outs)..I don't use the 'cable' in.
So, here's my dilemna: going the two cables directly in to either sat. receiver all works fine. When using the multiswitch, the two ins to four outs, all sat. channels come in like before EXCEPT I lose my local, spot beamed channels (Las Vegas area)...Which DirectTV told me is spot beamed here on sat. 119. I am getting a strong signal on the carry out dish from 101, 110, and 119.
Since I am parked at home base for a while, I took the cables and ran them to my oval, 3 sat. dish that is mounted on my house,. This dish has 4 output cables on it and when I went directly into the dvr's, without the multiswitch, all channels including locals worked, on both dvr's. Adding the multiswitch again, now 2 in and 4 out, I lose locals again. Why is that?
