Can I plug in the cable that comes from the dish and use it as a antenna for local T.V. channels? Will this harm my T.V. if I try it? I don't have cable or satellite any more.

no it will not work, AS IT IS. The LNB on the dish has a circuit board inside that has to have voltage and signals from the receiver. if you wanted to use it for a parabolic antenna, disconnect the coax from the LNB, strip back a couple of inches of the center solid wire, then wrap it around a screw, and tighten. good luck.

Dish became into sturdy, even nonetheless it relatively does not artwork whilst it is cloudy. i concept that became into basically some form of nonsense made up via the Comcast human beings of their labeled classified ads even nonetheless it is actual. Then, whilst my dad moved in because of the fact of his knee substitute surgical technique, we went returned to Comcast because of the fact Dish did no longer provide us interior of sight activities. Comcast became into worse then each and every! In 4 years of Dish, the restore guy became into out as quickly as. The Comcast restore guy had to come back 3 days after installation it and became into their a minimum of 10 situations interior the year we had it. Then we went to Verizon Fios, cable optic stuff. we've the telephone provider, internet and tv. It were working large up until eventually a month in the past as quickly as we would turn off the television however the "field" might nevertheless be on and vice versa. additionally the quickly forwarding by way of labeled classified ads of recording stuff isn't working impressive.

It won't do any harm but it won't work very well. Best to spend a few pennies on a proper antenna. They're cheap enough/

Not unless you're paying for the service. Just get an indoor antenna.

Television is produced to the lowest common denominator - i.e., the common IQ of the general public, whereas a reserve is written to the highest common denominator
