Help with satelite remote antenna

Postby stryped on Wed Jan 13, 2010 8:32 am

Dish network came and installed satelite service. On a few of the back room tv's there are little antennas for the remote coing out of a splitter.

All of a sudden, unless the remote is almost touching the little antenna, the remote wont work the satelite from the back bedrooms.

I looked at the back of the satelite box in the bedroom and where it has a jack for the antenna is a coax. SO I assume somehow they are running these remote antennas through the coax.

So, what is my best was to fix this thing?

Also, looking at his installation it is weird. It almost looks as if he used a three way splitter as a diplexer, with sat and over the air antenna hooked to the outs on the splitter and the in on the splitter going to my bedroom tv. Is it possible to use a splitter this way?

Your question is beyond the scope of this forum: I suggest that you call your satellite provider and ask for help.
