Dish Satellite Antenna

Here's what it says it does:Local stations blocked by your satellite company? Fight back with this RCA clip-on dish antenna! This ingenious device has a built-in diplexer that combines local antenna & satellite signals for the ultimate in convenience. It requires no additional wiring to the house, so installation is amazingly quick; just clip it on, plug it in & go! Features highly-tuned powder-coated receiving elements & 10 dB fixed amplification to compensate for line loss & multiple TVs. Retrofits to any 18" dish. Weather-resistant.

no better than any other outdoor air antenna,
that is all it is, nothing special.

if you could that would be great i would buy it from you so you show me how i need a dish to get internet 15 miles back to my town i live out in the country so i dont get it. unless i pay 69.99 a month for satellite internet. so could someone sell me a dish or instructions?

you wont get a full internet dish (like Hughes net) as it talks up and down
but try this http://www.metacafe.com/watch/840289/how _to_make_a_wifi_extender_antenna/

you can use this same technology from the second one and hook it to a DirectTV Dish and Single LNB and extend your range to about 25-30 miles - it would still be stealing.

I do it at my place in northern wisconsin

Price: $29.95 $24.99

Analog meter for easy readout; audible tone changes pitch with signal strength
950MHz to 2050MHz operation; sensitive MMIC meter amplifier
Fast response speeds adjustment; expanded scale meter for precise alignment

I am staying where we are not allowed to use install dish antenna would like to know if there is away where I can make a antenna so as to replace the dish antenna for receiving TV channels.

Explain to your landlord that the satellite dish is very small and that it would be a temporary installation, and before you move out you will return the building to it's original condition. If he/she says no, offer a small security deposit. Understand that it may be non-refundable.

...or get cable.

No, Satellite signal cables (the ones that go from the dish antenna to the receiver box) are more complex than other types of cables and cannot simply be SPLIT. You can use something called a MULTISWITCH to do this, but....

Furthermore, your computer video capture card is not equipped to handle the sort of signal that is coming from your satellite dish. Depending on the card it may be able to handle a TV antenna or a cable-TV input, but I've never heard of one that can handle a DIsh network signal (which is specific to that system).

Your only option as far as I know would be to split the signals coming OUT of your Dish box and see if your video card can take that type of input.

If you are confident that your video card CAN accept a dish network satellite signal, here's a link to some Multiswitches that allow you to split the signal..

Lets say I have cable from Comcast, antenna on the roof and satellite antenna. OK, how do I hook it up to TV so that I don’t have to unscrew one coax cable and then connect other coax cable to watch other antenna? I know I probably will have to have digital box for regular antenna, box for satellite, and box from cable company. HOW DO I HOOK IT UP

They make a switch box that accepts up to 3 inputs, and you choose your source with just a slide of the switch. About 20.00.
