I remember in the days of analog satellite I used to have a l "coaxial cable" that specially connected the satellite receiver and TV and served as a way to directly send the sat signal to the TV so that it would appear as a fake channel instead of having to use the AV button.
Some time ago I had digital satellite set up and I've been told I also need a "coaxial cable" to send the signal to the TV so that I can watch the free unencrypted channels with the TV off, or route signals from another dish as well. Or something like that, the free channels are important because now I can either plug the antenna cable into the TV and watch only free channels, or plug it into the receiver and see everything but only on receiver (I have to watch the local channels also via receiver).
I've duckducked coaxial cable but it seems that's something else entirely. What's the thing I need called? 95.168.116.4 ( talk) 14:59, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
