Dear all I have purchased a satellite reciever
and settop box combo box it shows satellite free
to air chennels connected with Dish cable but will
not show local chennels at all as there is no RF
signals even it is connected with working roof Antenna.
Not sure if this USA purchased receiver need some
kind of RF converter to meet Australian standard
whatsoever. Please assiste me in purchasing
some kind of converter or adapter to have signals
for local chennels through this box. Looking
farward to hear some solutions for this and will
apperciate to buy items that is the correct solutions
from you. Kind regards please email me
the solution if possible to
nqurishi@gmail.com
or reply here. Nas

Greetings Nas2768:
Here are the Australian
over-the-air broadcast channel frequencies:
http://www.scanaustralia.bigpondhosting.com/broad/autv3.html
Here are the U.S. over-the-air broadcast channel
frequencies:
http://www.csgnetwork.com/tvfreqtable.html
As you will see, the frequencies do not coincide
with each other, and neither do the bandwidths (6
MHz for U.S. vs. 7 MHz for Aussie). So, if it is
a U.S. converter, that would explain the incompatibility.
Over-the-air signals are picked up by placing
a special VHF/UHF antenna on the satellite dish,
and then either couple into the satellite cable
or are routed in a separate coax to the indoor receiver.
If you do not have that extra antenna, then you
cannot get the over-the-air channels.
