    Electonics: Correct hook up
    I have 1 coax from outside which is regular antenna and satellite dish(Directv) My remote allows me with input button to go from satellite on Ant A to regular antenna(local channels)
    On Ant B. 1 coax to hook up TV and satellite box. If I take the coax straight to TV on Ant B
    Local channels come in but right now the coax is in the satellite box then a coax out of box
    With a splitter with 2 coax 1 going to TV Ant A and 1 to TV Ant B but both input buttons have satellite coming in I don't have my local channels off my regular antenna. WHY? What happens is when a storm happens the satellite goes out and I have no news coverage. I had some remodeling done and the workers unhooked all of wires. HELP!

    Just have Antenna go directly to "B". Forget about running through Sat Receiver.
    Or run through receiver and don't use "B".
    When you turn off receiver, you should have antenna.
    If you have UHF signals, go into menu and select air or antenna, not cable.
    Since cable or satellite use Channel 3 or other type of output. Not need to switch in cable converter, By selecting air, you get Channel 3 for Satellite and when on antenna,
    You can have UHF/VHF.
