Hi,
What I did for the local stations is use the 'antenna input' on the back of my satellite receiver. Then used the RG6 cable to the dish, and the output line into the TV.
The RG6 cable is thicker core than a normal wire, and also is more conductive to the voltage being applied to the antenna receiver.
When you are setting up the antenna, it helps to know the direction to point the antenna. Around noon, the antenna receiver should cast a shadow on the dish. From there, you need to move it slightly right or left, until you get a signal. Then up and down, until you get a peak signal.
One way to peak the direction is to slowly move it left and right, until you get a good signal, then point it into the middle of where the signal fades. Then same thing with the up and down adjustment, until it is also at the peak.
Good luck,
Fred.
