[quote author=live2shopnc link=board=1;threadid=1877;start=msg13296#msg13296 date=1082943097] Also when I hooked up the sat.dish I couldn't get a signal on the tv. I had the dish hooked to the ext. tv outlet. I took it off the outside connector and ran it directly to the tv and it did fine. Is there some sort of switch I missed or is it a bad inside tv power receptacle?[/quote]Neither, unfortunately. Your satellite TV's antenna has an amplifier in it. Your satellite set-top box sends DC electrical power up the cable to run the amplifier. However, when you hook up through the little Winegard TV cable panel, it blocks the power to the amplifier.
There was a thread about this last summer. See
