    is it possible 2 have a normal n?l box in my house as well as a starview from 1 signal. im sure i read in a post once that someone did it using something that needed no wires. do those wee splitter things do the job, i no they need wires but if thats the only way then so b it. thanks

    you need to split the main feed from the wall cable into 2 using a good quality metal splitter

    bear in mind once you do this you are splitting the 100% signal you had by half so from time to time you will lose channels if you signal is weak at your house and will need constant scans to get the missing channels back

    Instead of splitting the signal run the main feed into the Starview and then run a cable from the antenna output in the back of the starview to the n?l box. You can activate this feed by going in to menu and select installation. Set antenna power to "ON". You now have the feed to the n?l box working without any loss of signal.
