One more question before hook this all up. Looks like to me I will have to either have the Ant/Cable connected to the TV or the Sat.cable as the TV has on one connection. Does this mean I will have to undo the cable and connect to the satellite each time I want to change signals or is there some kind of switch that I could use to keep from having to swap connections?
I just went through all that(only one cable for ant/cable/sat)in the bedroom. I put an A/B switch at the Winegard center and an A/B switch at the bed room TV for the same cable, then distribute the cables to the correct locations. This will work because the distribution center has the ANT. power supply. Draw out a simple diagram on paper and it will help. I did and it worked!
Thanks ChopperBill.... I do have another cable to the bedroom and basement. It is the satellite cable. But where would I connect it to the Video Center? At the OUT TO 3rTV ? But then It seems I would still have to put an AB switch at the BR TV because I would have to hook both the satellite cable and the ANT/cable to the TV and switch it each time I changed signals. AM I wrong? The way Bill,Satellite described to me, It would seem than once I had the Video Switch for the Bedroom energized, I could just select any one of the 3 signals and it should work.
I just did not have time to get it all hooked up yesterday and I will be out of town most of next week, so I will get back to it in a few days. Thanks again
