622 With Terk-44

[TimL]

I went and bought a Terk 44 Clip on antenna. I have never actually tried to do any Dish installation type work on my own. I got the antenna on the dish ok and the outside wiring done for the most part. Now I've lost the 129 satellite. The 110 and 119 appear to be fine even with the connections on the Terk. When I got inside I had forgotten about the Sat 1 snd Sat 2 splitting at the back of the receiver. I decided to leave things as is for now..Questions..Might a reboot "find" The 129 again? Also, Would there be an option to connect the Terk directly to the back of the TV rather than the 622..If not, How does one finish the job?..Thanks.

BTW-The Terk is my only option for an outside antenna..

Did you diplex your single coax in the house at the reciever before you added the dishpro seperator so you can split it into two sat cables for the 622 sat ports? IF not then do so.

You can put the single coax into the diplexor -tv side and use it to go to your 622 ota antenna port or even to a splitter then use it to split the coax to your 622, tv , vcr etc.

From the sat side of the diplexor use it to run to the dish pro seperator which will split it into two seperate coaxes to your 622 sat ports.

Run a check switch once you are all done and you should have all three satellites. IF not reboot . ** Also make sure that you have the lnb cables at the dish going into the IN ports and the black coax that runs to your receiver right next to the IN port at the OUT Port. So if you use IN port 1 the black coax to the receiver should be plugged into the OUT Port 1.

Why is the terk your only option??

I'm in a rental situation..No antenna on the roof..I Can't really afford the expense of a tower..
