So,
It would appear that the problem I have has to do with the off air tuner in the DTV HR20 receiver.
Just a minute: There is no off air tuner in the HR20. You can buy yourself an AM20 (IIRC), which is a TV tuner fed by a TV antenna, with its output going to a DTV receiver; its channels are integrated with the channels from the dish.
If I bypass the DTV receiver and go direct to the TV, from the antenna, the TV shows 100% signal strength and the signal is rock solid.
So that tells me you have a cable that is ONLY for TV signal and is not in any way connected to the dish.
If I route the antenna to the DTV receiver I get constant drop outs, pixelation etc etc.
That's amazing. You shouldn't be getting anything.
Finding this brings up a small issue in how the house is wired, but that'll just involve pulling a few new wires to get where I want this thing to be.
Wires to that area should be one or two wires to the DTV box from a multiswitch or SwM device, and a cable from the TV antenna to that TV.
