Great minds think alike. Tried it repeatedly. No luck! Any other ideas?

Mrscrimefighter, why don't you have Tom at Villages AV come to your house and troubleshoot? That's what we did. His prices are quite reasonable.

OK. I connected everything as shown in the diagram from Comcast. Simple splitter from wall with one cable to DTA input and one cable to A-B switch. Second cable from DTA output to A-B switch. Cable from output of A-B switch to TV.

With the switch set to go straight to TV from wall, I scanned for channels and got a bunch, including HD. Switched to get signal from DTA and got "no signal". TV was stuck on channel 2 and wouldn't move to channel 3 because the scan on the direct line didn't show a channel 3. Finally got the TV to channel 3 and tried again, but same result. Rescanned through the DTA line and got all the channels from the DTA. Great!

Switched back to the direct feed and used the TV remote to try to tune to one of the HD stations (2-1) and got "no signal" again. Tried every other channel and no change. Re-scanned and they were back. Went back to the TV settings and used the option to add an analog channel to add channel 3 to see if I could then use the DTA without re-scanning. Nope.

What am I doing wrong?

Do I have to re-scan every time I switch between DTA and direct feed?

Try manually adding channel 3 (or 4) after a scan straight from the wall.
