Many of these boxes are "quick and dirty" hack-outs of existing satellite and cable boxes. They don't bother to change the remote control codes on most of them, since the manufacturers figure you'll either have the dtv converter box or get a subscription service box, not both. Unfortunately for many of these boxes, they cut out something important, the signal lock system that keeps its hold on a channel, and the processor strength, memory, and power feed to back that up. A very strong rural-strength booster is needed. I have yet to see one strong enough. |
i recently hooked a
dtv converter box up to my tv through my dish 522 receiver. I also have a tv with twin screen feature. When i first hooked them up i could watch both the dish feed and the
dtv feeds at the same time. The next morning i had to turn off the dish signle to wath the
dtv signle, which is making my twin screen feature useless. I can't figure out why it worked one day and not the next. The dish feed seems to be going both to channel 4 and input 1. Changing the dish to channel 3 doesn't help. Any suggestions?
