"This thing saved the day, I ordered it for a big production with zero spare time left if it didn't work as I hoped it would."
"Worked perfectly, split a cable box to run the same channel to two different tv's."
"Split output from Verizon FIOS box to my upstairs TV and a downstairs TV."
"I tried a non-power unit but that did not work (running a 25ft cable so maybe it was just to long for a non-powered unit) so I got this one."
"Minor downside, wall wart power supply, may be an issue if you're planning to plug in behind a tv that's close to wall."
"I connected the splitter from my Verizon DVR to the input on the splitter and connected one output to one of the 60" monitor's HDMI inputs and the other to one of the smaller FTA monitor's HDMI input. If I switch the 60" monitor to another FTA HDMI input the audio returns for that program."
"This just works, as opposed to a plain splitter cable I tried earlier, which did not work unless both outputs were powered on, if either were powered off, both died, not good."

Recently I decided to try a converter box on my TV, it's an oldie but goodie HD 1080i DLP. I used my old satellite RG6 cable and hooked the antenna to it and laid it on the patio rail. I also decided to pick up a Windgard XT LNA-200 Boost preamp since this antenna is not amplified at all. I placed the LNA on the pole right under the antenna, hooked everything up and aimed the Yagi to 94 degrees magnetic. Construction is of high quality aluminum, stainless, and plastic/nylon parts and I have no doubt it will last for years to come. Networks received - ABC CBS NBC FOX and a few piggyback stations that transmit from the networks including a channel that plays old B&W movies, love 'em, and a local weather channel so I can tune into MY area for up to date weather feeds. All the other antennas I tried only got signal strengths fluctuating of around 49 - 55% amplified - that was unacceptable to this engineer. The RCA ANT751R and the Wingard LNA Preamp are a perfect combo if you live in an area like mine. -v-. Update: 04-04-2017. The antenna reviewed above with it's Wineguard Preamp are still functioning perfectly."
"Once i got the antenna installed and correctly oriented, I went from 0 to 48 digital and analog channels!"
"I've also added a 4 tuner Tablo Wi-Fi DVR with a 2 TB Western Digital Elements hard drive. With the local channels covered, Amazon Prime and Netflix we have plenty of content to watch."
"So I purchased and installed this antenna up in my attic and ran a coax to the splitter downstairs to feed my house."

"I have it set up with my ps3 feeding the splitter, one output goes to the tv and the other goes to the elgato hd capture device which then goes to the laptop and projector."
"My previous splitter would on occasion crash the DVR causing it to reboot, but so far I don't expect this ZettaGuard 1x2 to give me this problem."
"No lowest denominator due to different TV capabilities."
"If you try buying this product and expecting that to work it won't. This is a product that they would use it would only mirror onto other displays."
"This splitter works great."
"Item does what it is supposed to do, connect two displays to an HDMI source."

It is not the manufactures of these dishes fault for the loss of HD, but it it the way DirecTV delivers their signal. If you must have HD with DirectTV you must purchase a Winegard Traveler which will cost more then a grand more then this dish and it will have to be permanently mounted on the roof of your RV. You can use this model with dish network, but you will need to by the King UC1000 universal controller for less then a hundred dollars. I hope this helps you understand the local programming and maybe you will not have to spend the hours of research I did before I bought the King Quest."
"After some Internet research, I discovered a recommended iPhone app for locating the satellites in the sky--it turned out all the Dish Satellites were behind trees where we were parked, so that was the problem all along! There is another app I have used which is also good but shows all the satellites and was confusing for me, it is called Satellite Locator."
"I have thrown in the towel and ordered a Winegard, which can be used with the 211z receiver. [Update April 20] I received the new satellite dish today from Amazon, the Winegard Dish Playmaker. After rebooting the receiver, the Winegard locked onto the 3 satellites and I was up and running with all channels, including locals, coming in perfectly in HD -- no choppiness, no drops, no defaulting to SD. After a couple of hours, it started raining and the dish was still pulling in everything perfectly. It wasn't the 211z receiver, it wasn't Dish network, it wasn't customer service, it wasn't the U.S. Air Force -- it was the lousy King product. [Update May 2017] I decided to remove the dome of the King dish (don't do this, it voids your warranty if you still have one) to see what could have caused my bad experience."
