Have cut the Dish cord, and had the thought to use the exiting satellite mount to install an OTA antenna.
5 different inside style antennas didn't work & most likely won't work in attic due to tech shield roof decking, so outside I go.
Took off the LNB pieces at front of dish satellite, and secured the new antenna to the dish arm (antenna linked below).

Used tvfool to find direction of broadcast waves (SE) at 120 or 116 degrees (true & magnetic). Pointed antenna at 115-116.
There are 2 coax cables from dish satellite to a switch on side of house. From switch there is one coax cable into house.
Disconnected the cable into house from dish switch & connected coax from antenna with coax connector splice. Tried scanning for channels using both coax cables at antenna (one at a time).
No dice. What am I missing?
