Typically, with a satellite dish you will need to check which line is connected to the receiver. That is the coaxial line you need to use. You can do this my connecting 1 line and scanning the TV for channels. If the one you have connected doesn't work, try the other line. Also, when the dish it connected to more than one TV, you likely need to replace the splitter in the junction box, usually located outside your home, with a full-range splitter. Oftentimes, satellite installs a splitter that have filters built-in to eliminate unwanted frequencies. After you check the coax line connection, be sure the antenna is facing the correct direction towards the towers and then do a channel scan. If this does not resolve the issues send us a chat on antennasdirect.com and well help you with more in-depth troubleshooting.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The coax cable should be RG6 for best results. With 4 tv’s, I would consider using a powered splitter. If you need to strengthen the signal more than that, try a mast mounted preamplifier. Antennaweb.org will tell you the source/direction of the strongest signal.
