For years I had Comcast.... (borg) and basically wired up my entire house for the F-Plug and or RCA jack analog system in a pre-HD TV system they provided. Always wondered why my parents had better cable boxes and a more advanced system than I had, just found out that I wasn’t paying more money for such a thing. Still though my system well off some F-Plug switchers, boosters and VCR’s in two DVR boxes controlling speakers and like five TV’s. I sub-divided various rooms or speakers for analog and all worked really cool. HD able TV’s worked just fine off the old system as with other stuff... lots of stuff and switchable between cable boxes for the remote Garage location I most watch in.
Recently found out that because I didn’t "Bundle" my internet basic channels with internet, I was paying like $80.00 per month extra for like seven or eight years in doing so. Sorry, I didn’t know I could as it wasn’t offered when I added internet to my account many years ago. My Wife (a few years after I bought the house and Comcast) is now our finances manager and amongst other reasons she quit the Comcast and we installed "Dish" Network and a separate but linked "Frontier" company for phone and internet on a two year contract.
Dish we found out don’t give the "extra HD TV" stations locally that Comcast at least gave many of - not cool in I mostly watch the local stations. Only after I installed a 50 Mile HD antenna and added a booster to it given like 60 or more miles from Chicago did I find extra stations Comcast didn’t even provide. Don’t get all the local stations with the antenna, but get most that I was really watching. Also on Dish I lost most of the basic cable stations channels I was watching in making it almost useless for me as a network of channels. You don’t have DIY or Military History Channel or most History type channels in a basic package?
I can work around and already have the back and forth F-Plug type wiring established in the house given an analog (apparently F-plug is analog) to wire up everything as long as my "best you could buy" in like 1998 continues working as the hub for my system. Worked fine as a system, only problem is the Dish Network system powers up stuff by way of HDMI type plugs.... Best Buy sold me another antenna adaptor than on return told me there was no such thing as a HDMI to F-Plug converter. Really???
All I need to do is to convert the HDMI plug to a F-Plug and if necessary with an antenna adaptor in theory I could adapt if such a concept of antenna adaptor would work but than again might not sense channels. Or better yet is there a such thing as a HDMI to analog adaptor that does the analog adaption? If not, why not? And or why not in especially Dish guys saying it cannot be done so you basically are screwed for the network you established. Gee thanks.
Really want back the washroom TV, this much less want to just switch between antenna and satellite in making this system work how it did in the past especially for my workshop.
