A:AnswerHave you attempted running straight to the TV to see if the antenna is actually picking up any channels? I'd attempt to verify the antenna is picking up content first. Once you know its actually is working go from there. It should be able to function fine without two devices connected.
A:Answer- Rocketfish Splitter Specs: Typically rated 5–2050 MHz.
- Orby TV Requirement: Needs 5–2600 MHz or higher, because Orby’s satellite system uses higher frequencies for signal transmission.
- Result: The Rocketfish splitter does not meet Orby’s frequency requirement. It may block or degrade part of the signal, leading to unreliable performance.
What You Need
For Orby TV DVRs and receivers, you’ll want a splitter that is:
- All‑Power / Power‑Passing: Allows DC voltage to pass through for powering the satellite LNB.
- Frequency Range: Rated 5–2600 MHz or higher.
- Impedance: 75 Ω (standard for satellite/cable systems).
Recommended Options
- Eagle Aspen All‑Power Splitters (2‑way, 3‑way, 4‑way) – specifically designed for satellite systems like Orby.
- Holland Electronics All‑Power Splitters – also MoCA‑compatible, good if you ever expand to TiVo/MoCA networking.
- Antronix MoCA/All‑Power Splitters – premium option, supports both satellite and MoCA frequencies.
A:AnswerYes, this can be used as a combiner. Simply flip it upside down attach your two antennas and run coaxial to your preamp. All these are designed to also be combiners unless specifically engineered to be one way!
A:AnswerA powered antenna would but the splitter nope. It might provide a better connection than you had but that is about it. As far as I experienced.
A:AnswerThis is exactly what you need. Your case is very similar to mine. I used this to split the port on the wall between internet modem and cable tv.
A:AnswerI have not had any problems with that type of connection. I have a powered antenna and a non powered HD antenna connected to my uhd 4k tv with no problems and the picture is great with no interference. Just make sure the antennas are pointed toward a transmission tower nearest to you or in the general direction to get the best reception. But using two antennas really improves the reception.
A:AnswerYes, I just send it to combine my old antenna wire ( giving me 45 free channels) to my Comcast wire, so that I have backup when the Comcast goes down.
