I cannot get the green "on" light to light up. Do I need special coax cables?

I didn't. The power adapter needs to be plugged in to a power outlet and connected to the booster by a coax. I had a short coax from my cable company lying around and used that.

The amp needs RJ-6 or RJ-59 from the amp to the power supply, there is also a screw on the corner of the amp, (right next to the coax power on the amp) this is for attaching a grounding wire.They are sold here for $7.95, get one cut off the alligator clip and bare 1/2 to 3/4 of wire, twist the bare wire and attach to the screw for grounding.GROUNDING CORD | 6-foot long, 3-prong gator with clip on

Obviously the unit needs to be powered for it to be function. The top left "input" on the unit is for 12v in. The wall power adapter that comes with the unit needs to be plugged in, coax from that right into that port is how you accomplish that. I hope that answers your question.

use tricable with red,white and yellow wires on both ends. Attach to your unit and match to t.v.colors. You will be up and running in 2 min.

I had exactly the same situation. This takes the digital coax and converts it to the fiber optic. It comes with the power supply, you will still need the coax cable and the fiber optic cable. The fiber optic cable ends and the receptacles on both ends have protectors over all of them to protect from contamination. Remove them all at the time of installation.

Are you plugging the yellow cable in the green input? Just a suggestion off the top of my head :)

Yes there is one tip that screws on to the end of the coax cable that you trying to find/test , it has a led that lights up green if your connection is good, I highly recommend this tester, I'm an a/v tech and it's a great value for its price

u will get ur local unscrambled channels,i have two of these and love them it will take a while to go thru the channels and set them up. No coax port on a tv? whats next? looks like u will have to rent a box maybe that was the plan all along by not adding a coax port. would like to know what brand it is if u dont mind.Or is this a monitor/display u are using?

should have a red and green light on if it is receiving signal correctly. make sure you have installed the software correctly that came with it and are using a compatible dmx software. also make sure you have selected the device as an output option within the dmx software

I used a long coaxial cable that I had left over from a previous cable installation. The cable is NOT included with the antenna.

The following assumes that the "coax" is connected to an antenna (eg, rabbit ears); if it is connected to a cable box, I'm not sure how to proceed, since my cable box does not put out HD, so I use the RCA cables (red, white, yellow) to connect from back of cable box to TV's similarly colored plug-receptors) and choose "AV" (Audio/Video) in step #1 (see next). 1) If the coax comes from an antenna, be sure you have chosen the "INPUT" as "TV", not "AV". ie, on the remote control, press the "SOURCE" button (upper left to the cursor keys -- which are the L,R, Up, Down keys surrounding the "OK" key: See pg 9 of (my) manual); then use the cursor keys UP and DOWN to select "TV", then press "OK" in center of cursor key layout. 2) If you have not yet scanned for your local stations (or if you want to do so again): Press "MENU" key on the remote (upper right to cursor keys), then press DOWN cursor key twice to get to "TV", then press the Right cursor key once, then Down once to get to Channel Scan, then RIGHT to initiate channel scan. It will take 4-5 min to scan for stations strong enough to be received. Once this is done, it will return to normal operation, or you can press Menu several times to return. 3) If you still do not get any channels (and assuming you are living within 10 miles of stations), problem may be with TV. If things are now working, remove undesired channels (p16: Menu, down x2, right x1, down x2, right) and you are set. Hope that helps!

To be honest I think you will have to try it or call the company about your location. By the way, I am happy with the product, I install in the attic of my house run coax cable to both of my TV.

No it does not work from a standard Coax cable- THIS CABLE will not work for that ,it is some type of specialty coax hookup not for home

Yes, with the power supply connected to a wall outlet and the inline switch to "on" the green light is always lit, even without any other cables connected.

@Regula, great link. Thanks for that. I'm currently a cable customer, but I'm moving in three months. The new place has coax wired everywhere and I was considering renovating to add ethernet (cat-6).If I can get the satellite company to install their own coax, then using the netgear product may be a good alternative to renovation.

Checked last night and there is one optical connection (Toslink). Hope this helps.

All I can say is that I attached the cable to the receiver and had dish activate it. and all is working just fine. hope that helps some. Good luck to you.

you must provide power BOTH the HD and the adapter...use the supplied plug for the adapter and a standard plug for the HD. If you have it correctly hooked up the adapter will light up.

It should light up upon receiving and sending a signal on both ends check to make sure your cat 5 cables are not swapped make sure each cable goes to the same port on both units the the receiver is plugged and and that all sending and receing scources our powered on
