Has anyone used this to connect a Directv box to the feed from a dish? I have feed from dish into a different room and have been running a 50ft coax to the Directv Reciever.

Alan: I have DirecTV, but have the transmitter hooked to my tv. The receiver is connected to another tv about 20 feet away in the kitchen. I takes a bit of experimenting moving the transmitter and receiver around to get a static-free picture, but it works fine. Also, I sometimes put a tv and attached receiver in the yard (about 30ft away) to watch a ballgame. Again, it works fine. --GC

You would need to put your receiver in the room with the feed from the antenna then use the Leapfrog to send the signal to your tv in the other room. Mine came with a built in remote signal sender so you would use the Direct TV remote to control the channels, sound, etc. As far as I can tell, the Leapfrog will not send HD signals.

Alan, I don't know if you can hook up the terk leapfrog directly from the feed from your dish then hook up the receiver part to the other tv. I hooked mine up as directed per install instructions provided with product. One went to back of direct tv box, other to tv in another room. This works great for me, hope this somehow helps you out sincerely, Jim D.

I run a signal from my dish receiver to a tv in another room and it works just fine. Crystal clear and the remote works too i just have to take the dish remote into the room with me

This did not work for us, we had interference from the WIFI system in the house. Returned the Leapfrog wireless systems. The distance was maybe 30 feet with a straight shot, no walls or doors.

To be totally honest i don't know if that application is possible. I'm using it to mix the seperate hdtv channels of two seperate directional antennas. I'm not sure if there would be any interferance between the over the air feed and the catv feed. You might look for a coaxial switch simular to the ones used with video game systems. Good luck

My answer is based upon Directv do not know about Dish at all. Not sure about the TVs but the unit can work with 2 receivers. I have a DVR that has 2 receivers in it and it works fine with that.

I mounted my antenna near my old satellite dish and used that cable and it works great. I would imagine that cable wouldn't be any different...coax is coax. Also, in case you are interested, I am using a TIVO dvr which costs $15 a month which allows me to record regular TV shows and also streams Netflix, Pandora etc...

well i found out that the box is not the reason i cant watch tv it is that my FIOS box requires an active signal or a return signal to push out video. now the hdmi switch maskes the signal retuning from the tv so it reguiers some thing like an XBOX or a google chromecast to push out a signal to mimic the tvs return signal to the FIOS box. I dont know if you dish box requires an active signal to push out media. so i would try contacting dish to see if they can tell you the correct answer.

Reading the instructions would answer this question, but I'll answer it anyways. This device is used to connect an OTA (over the air) antenna to your Dish Hopper. The coax is an input that is connected from the OTA antenna into the USB OTA Tuner. The usb connection then connects the OTA Tuner to the Dish Hopper. After you've made this connection you can follow the included instructions to setup the OTA Tuner to work with the Hopper. For what it's worth, this product is cheaper if ordered directly from Dish Network. Last I looked it was only $30 directly from Dish.

Sherry a friend of mine mounted this antenna directly to his satellite pole, after removing the dish. You can use the satellite coax , but you might have to remove some of the splitter boxes used by satellite.

Hi, MaryAnn - yes that's why we bought it. Now we don't need the little converter box we had been using to grab the antenna signals. The antenna wire (coax from the antenna) goes straight into the Magnavox unit, and then you connect the Magnavox directly to your TV. Works great!

The unit has 2 optical inputs and 1 coax input for digital audio, and RCA inputs for analog audio. So you'll have a couple of options with your Dish receiver: either connect it directly to the unit with one of those audio cables (depending on the outputs the Dish receiver has), or use your TV's Digital Out to connect it to the unit (not that most TVs downsample their Digital Out so it's better to connect the receiver directly to the unit).

I have DirectTv and it worked perfectly fine for mine. It does a great job and was better than a more expensive solution.

do you have it set up through your cable or dish? i don't and it works just fine. i didn't want to go through all the re-connecting because ia can never get it the same. i just put it through the game poet on the side of my tv.

I ran coax cable from the antennae mount to the house, some 50 feet away, and split the cable at the house. The coax runs to two different HD tvs at opposite ends of the house. The picture is great on both TVs. I don't know for sure how two more tvs would affect the signal but my guess would be that it would be fine.

I don't know about directv. I only have Comcast and it did not work with their cable boxes.

I really dont have the answer...but you could contact the company and they could help you....I just know that it works really well with my direct tv satellite receiver and the antenna for over the air tv...

I used this to send my Directv picture to a main and a remote set. I also used a 50" HDMI cable. Works perfectly. Remember, both get the same channel.

I have dishnet. And I put the box on the back of the TV with Velcro.but those boxes are very small.if that isn't possible. Put it in the cabinet and run wires from that. You can also get an or extender for little to nothing so you can change the channels. Mount it to inside of cabinet on side so to save cabinet space???????
