I paid the "cable" guy to install my satellite TV. I have a Winegard Carryout Anser GM-5000 Hybrid Automatic Portable Satellite Antenna connected through 1 of 2 outside satellite jacks to a Direct TV STD definition box in the den. (I was told that antenna does not support HD)
The den TV is connected directly to the box with a red, white, yellow video cable and has a good picture. I wanted all the other TV's (garage, bedroom & exterior) to connect to this one box. The TV out on the Direct TV box is split back into the coax feed to the den TV from the broadcast antenna and this sends the satellite signal to the other TV's over the broadcast antenna coax cable. I can switch between satellite and broadcast in the den by changing the input and on the other TV's by re running the channel set up. This is great because the one box runs all the TV's and I have line of sight to change channels on the box from the bedroom.
My problem is the picture quality on the other TV's is kinda fuzzy. If I split the TV out coax straight to the garage TV it gets a good picture and it's close enough to the box to be set up that way. But what about the bedroom and exterior TV's...
Did the "cable" guy hook this up right? Any suggestions on how to improve the picture quality?
