Hi OM,

Successful engineering consists of explaining the problem correctly
(because it is also the answer).

Connect your cheap antenna to the DSS connector labeled TV
ANTENNA/CABLE IN (which is an input, you were using it as an output)
and when you turn off the DSS, it should allow cable or antenna
signals through to be tuned by your TV. This means that the DSS acts
as the splitter you are trying to add to this problem.

Are you saying that I WAS able to get my point across (albeit somewhat
roughly)?

Thanks. Why didn't I think of that?

Richard,
I tried your suggestion, and I get damn near perfect reception. Wow!
Thanks again.

Hi OM,

Give yourself more credit. Like I said, the answer is usually in the
question when you put your mind to it. You were already on the trail.
