*** RF-Remote antenna connector type ***

Hi All!

I am trying to find out what sort of connector the Hopper uses for the RF remote control antenna. It definitely isn't the industry standard F-type. I read somewhere that it might be something called an "M10" ???

I am trying to extend the range of the RF remote control so it will work on a TV located two stories up and at the opposite end of the home. I took an RG6 (~ 10') and monkey-rigged it onto the antenna and to the antenna port on the Hopper. It worked (well, somewhat), but I need to terminate both ends of the RG6 with the proper connector; hence, my question as to what sort of connector it is.


Thanks in advance!

FYI: It works if I am closer to the bedroom door, but from the bed, it is hit-n-miss, emphasis on miss....maybe need an rf (uhf) amp or better antenna?

 

After more google searches i did find this topic from THIS forum :

Good to know!

EDIT: Just realized that there were replies to this thread already.

THANKS guys!

I'll purchase that kit. Is it sold by Dish, or somewhere else?
