DTV from multiple locations?
Posted: Thu Dec 25, 2008 3:19 pm
Some of my family lives between Milwaukee and Chicago, and can currently receive TV signals from both places via a rotor. I'm a bit unclear as to what one needs to do with DTV, however. I was at my uncle's house yesterday and got him up and going with an Apex box, running the channel scan while the antenna was pointed toward Milwaukee. It got all the Milwaukee channels setup just fine. However, he wants to receive DTV signals from Chicago too. If he runs the auto setup again with the antenna pointing South, won't all (or at least most) of the Milwaukee channels get wiped out, since the antenna won't be pointing in that direction? Is there a way to manually add channels? How does one set things up if the antenna has to be pointed in multiple directions?
I'm assuming this can't be *that* complicated, but my experience with DTV is limited to what I did yesterday, and now I'm trying to help him without actually being able to do anything hands-on.
