Direct TV Antenna

We want to keep the direct tv but are not allowed to put anything on the roof. So i was wondering if we where to use a tripod like those for motor homes and such within the home? would it be at all possible?

Yes, it is possible and it is easily done only if your balcony is facing in the right direction (ie. south-east). A technician will come down and check the location and there will be no charge if the can't get line of sight

If it's possible what do I need?
I want to use it with a KU Band receiver for free service as I don't want to pay DirectTV anymore. I've read it's possible to watch over 100 channels with this receiver. If it's possible email me: ainozama@yahoo.com

Yes you can. Ku band is from 11 GHz to 14.5 GHz. Direct TV downlink frequency is in the Ku band. Their frequency between the dish and receiver is in the L-Band. What do you need for what?

I have my house rented.
Direct TV installed and antenna on top of the beautiful aluminum siding and drilled holes everywhere with the tenant's authorization.
Aren't they supposed to ask for the house owner's authorization?

Yes I belive they are supposed to have OWNERS consent before they install the stuff. My parents had a paper they were to take to the owner of the house and the owner was to sign it to give the okay to have it installed. I would bitch at both p;arties and make sure that no one forged your writting!

im trying to put antenna (local tv) cable (HD tv) and direct tv into 3 tvs at a resturaunt but i dont know what cables to put in and where. if you have an idea or know how please help i need to fix them before sunday, the tvs are "VIZIO" and are hd formatable thank you for reading.

Get a four way splitter for each source (cable, direct tv channel 3 output of box, and antenna). Connect each source to the input of splitters 1, 2 and 3 as shown:

Antenna to input of splitter 1

Cable to input of splitter 2

DirecTV channel 3 output to input of splitter 3

Run cables from the outputs (3 of 4 available) of each splitter to a three way antenna, cable, satellite (might be marked game) switch located behind each tv. Connect as follows:

Output of each switch to antenna input of each TV.

Output from Antenna splitter (1) to antenna input on three way switch.

Output from Cable splitter (2) to cable input on three way switch.

Output from DirecTV Channel 3 splitter (3) to game input (whatever the third input is named on the switch) on three way switch.

Do this for all three TV sets.

Select the source with the switches and change the TV tuning setting between antenna and cable for this setup when channels above 13 are desired. May require auto tuning the set each time.

If the sets have dual antenna inputs for hdtv antenna and tv cable connect the hdtv antenna directly to that input. Use the switch with the cable tv and the direct tv channel 3 output only (as you will not have to retune the tv for channel 3).

If the TV sets have component inputs or HDMI inputs you may want to get separate DirecTV receivers on their four way splitter (different because it splits the satellite signal from the LNB). And then use the HDTV capable DirecTV receivers. The above setup was for standard DirecTV receiver instead of HDTV.

i have a satilite dish on my roof can i use it to pick up local tv stations on my HDTV converter box for my tv?

No you can't.

The frequencies and type of signal is totally different.
