Ok let me see if I can make this simple:

We hooked up the dtv converter box and now we get extra channels and we do not get some we used to.

My problem is how do I get my Dish to work with this box?

DH and I tore into that gawd awful hornets nest of cables behind the tv and we gave up for the night.

Oh Dear......my deepest sympathies.
a lot of help aren't I?

Should not need a converter with Dish or cable. Why did you install one?

Wondering the same thing.

Pay the extra $5 a month for local channels the cable/dish company charges and be done with it.

I would but they don't offer them in my area

No help here. I dread the day when I have to weed through the 'hornets nest' of cables under my computer when something goes wrong.

That looks like a good thing to do!!
You must have Direct TV.
We got fed up with them for not having the technology to offer our locals and switched to Dish.
Good Luck!!!

No we have Dish...this whole conversion just ticks me off!! Now I have 3 remotes instead of 2! UGH

That diagram looks easy enough.

If you don't like 3 remotes, get a universal.

We have tried that but for some reason thats a bigger problem...I think it has to do with our Dish or older tv.
