Hello to all.
I subscribe to the Dish Network and receive satellite programming through a single DVR 510 receiver. My main viewing in on a Pioneer Elite 510HD television located in my entertainment room. I also have non-HDTV television sets in three other rooms.
The installer who cabled my two Dish Network 500 satellite dishes and receiver connected them and a Terk roof terrestrial antenna in a way that allows me to view satellite and local stations in four separate rooms.
TI do not believe the image quality displayed on all four of my television sets is as good as it should be. I think that the reason for this less than optimum quality might be signal degrading bcause of too many connection devices.
My first question is, do I have too much cabling? Secondly, if not too much cabling, are my devices correctly cabled?
These are the connections the installer made:
Two dish 500’s are cabled to a SW21 3-sat switch. A cable from the switch along with a Terk terrestrial antenna cable connects to diplexer #1 in my garage attic.
A cable connects from the diplexer to a TSDA2150 signal combiner.
One cable from the TSDM2150 connects to a Monster brand splitter. A second cable connects to the DVR 510 satellite receiver.
One cable from the DVR 510 satellite receiver connects to the Pioneer 510 HDTV.
The DVR 510 satellite receiver connects one audio cable and one video cable to a USM-8 modulator. The modulator connects one cable to the Monster splitter.
The Monster splitter has one cable connecting to a DSU-2 splitter.
The DSU-2 splitter has one cable connecting to two different TA15 amplifiers.
A cable from amplifier #1 connects to a VC R. A cable from amplifier #2 connects to diplexer #2 in the garage attic.
Diplexer #2 in the garage attic connects to non-HDTV television sets in three rooms.
In addition to the setup that the installed made, I ran a cable from a second Terk terrestrial antenna that I put on the roof directly to a Pioneer HDTV tuner SH-D09 integrated in my Pioneer 510HDTV. This caabling allows me to receive over-the-air high definition programming directly from local TV stations. It does not pass through any other devices. The image from this setup is superb!
As an added note, I have a Denon AVR-4800 controlling digital and analog feeds relating to the satellite receiver, Pioneer HDTV, DVD, VCR and other devices. No audio problems are discernible from the way I have made connections to and from the AVR-4800.
I appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you.
Maurice
