They're different voltages. Use the one it came with. Hopefully you didn't fry it by using the wrong voltage!

I highly suspect the power unit. The Winegard and the Titan may have different voltage or polarity at the coax connector from the power module to the pre-amp itself. Without proper power, the pre-amp will not work and no channels can be received.

I did the exact same switched but used the Titan power unit. Even using the same power unit, the Titan gave me less channels than the Winegard. I believe that it is faulty electronics within the unit. The unit uses older electronics technology, but according to my husband it is still good. However, there are coils inside the unit. If one of the coils are a half turn off (either too much or too little) it will throw off the units ability to pick up signals. I do not think you did anything wrong. I have read previous reviews and try all of the suggestions and even did the troubleshooting from Channel Master to no avail. It is just faulty.

could be bad, I did the same thing as you wanting to replace my winegard ap-8700, with the cm 7777. got less channels so I returned it, guessing it was bad, just make sure you have the connectors in right place on the pre amp, I still have my wingard but keeps dropping channels, works best when it rains believe it or not

I have no experience with the Winegard unit. As for the power supplies: Do they both output the same exact volts and amps? I would doubt it. I would use the Titan power supply and see what happens. I just looked both units up. The Winegard power supply is 18V. The Titan power supply is 15V. Use the Titan power supply.

There is a limited life time warranty on this unit. Do not tamper with it. Depending on how long you have had it and bought it from, you might be able to return it to that place of purchase. Its worth looking into. Otherwise you will have to go through Titan. Hope that this helps you

I am not tech savvy but this antennae brings in mostly high definition channels and a couple of duplicate non HD channels. I am using this antennae to bring in channel 2, and using the AmazonBasics Ultra-Thin Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna - 50 that is positioned to bring in all of the other channels. I used a CHANNEL PLUS 2512 DC + IR Passing 2-Way Splitter/Combiner to attach both antennae's to my tv. I purchased all of this from Amazon. I cannot get 1 antennae to bring in channel 2 on its own without losing other channels which is why I am using two. I am getting 46 channels not counting duplicates and 6 are in Spanish.

I don't know??? I have VIP211k's and have no problems. I looked on both the DISH and Winegard websites and don't see a definitive answer. On the Winegard site I see one reference that say the X2 works with all VIP receivers, in the Q&A section it says... Q. What do I need to set up the Pathway X2 antenna? A. You will need a TV and an activated receiver with programming package. The antenna must be used with a DISH Solo HD receiver; examples include DISH 211k, 211, 411, and 211z receivers. I would call Windgard, their Tech Support folks are very helpful.

I purchased mine and originally hooked it up directly with coaxial to the extra port on existing node on sat. dish on roof, then activated it and it worked fine.However at some point I went to settings and configured the network setup as a MAC bridge, it continued to work properly even after I disconnected the coaxial cable from the Joey completely. So it continued to work with nothing but a regular network cable running to the hopper and functioned normally. I was surprised.So perhaps in Mac Bridge mode all that is needed is a connection to your hopper.But during activation I am not sure if they would be able to activate it that way, call Dish and ask.

I installed this WinTV-HVR-2250 last night on Win 8 Pro 64 bit. There is a download on the support web page for this card at Hauppauge.com that addresses an issue with Media Center. The setup in Media Center goes fine until it scans for channels and reports fewer than expected or none found. Media Center did not report finding the analog cable channels in my case. The support document instructs you to ignore that and go into the Guide configuration in Media Center to add the channels. I did this and it worked. The high definition channels look fantastic.

Yes, the Winegard/Dish receiver will work with the two remaining satellites. Depending upon which satellite you can't receive. you may not receive all the channels or perhaps not HD. We have been very happy in using the Winegard SK-1000 during the last 18 months since we purchased. With the push of one button we can turn it on and it will automatically find all the satellites it can. We have camped in a number of campgrounds and sometimes can find all the satellites even when there are a lot of trees. Hope this helps. Good luck!Norm and Glenna Alexander

Go to CNET and look this tv up. People have posted calibration settings on there. My recommendation at this point would be to return this tv immediately! I have had the pn64e8000 for nearly two years now and it just died yesterday. I have found out recently that these tv's were shipped by Samsung with bad panels. I am not the only one this has happened to and some folks are trying to organize a class action lawsuit over this issue. I have had two Samsung tv's and they both let me down. Their customer service sucks and they will give you the runaround. I just ordered a Sharp aquos Lc70sq15u which is about the same price i paid for the pn64e8000 and is twice the tv.

This is a hard question to answer without testing. I have a Terk that works on some channels and not on others. In my area even a change in weather can change the signal level. Where the antenna is located in the house and what is in the way of the line to the station can reduce the signal level. If the signal received by the antenna is too low no amp will help. The best thing to do is get an amp and try. The Winegard I got did not work out of the box, it made some of the channels that worked not work.

I ended up returning mine as I could not hardly get any of my local channels to come in. It may have something to do with the newer televisions work the best receiving digital signals so if the channels you are trying to get to come in are not strong enough the TV set may just agnor the weak signal.

first go to DTV.gov. this will talk you through aiming the antennae and how far the broadcasters are from your friends house.second make sure if it is an older antennae that you use new coax and preferably have an outdoor antennae. when they switched to digital the lowered the power output, so some channels you used to be able to get in very easily will not come in now.make sure after you make any changes that you re-scan for channels. this must be done so the television actually looks for them.

I could not get the anser dish 5000 to work at all with dish network. I upgraded to the 1518 carry out and it works well with one reciever. If you want to use 2 reciever you will need to call winegard, call right when they open or you will never get to speak with anyone. They will tell you how it needs to be setup and how it works. There are no written instructions available even though they advertise it as a 2 reciever dish.

Make sure the connections are secure and proper and the antenna is elevated high enough, this antenna works on line of sight,if there are obstructions (hills, trees , buildings etc.) it will not work as well as planned. Did you also research the programming available to you in your area? You should go to "titantv.com" and enter your zip code and see what is available in your area. My antenna still works great after several years and I do recommend it. Good Luck.

Believe it only works with standard receiver box. Call winegard or direct tv customer service.

I have the HD7084 and I love it. It powers two Zenith Over the air converter boxes and two LED TVs. I get a great clear picture. Even the 1080i broadcast come in great as well as 480. I would definitely recommend this unit. I have more channels than I new were out there. I live out about 25 miles away from the Chicago stations. I also get some Michigan and Indiana stations.
