Model Differences:
The DA-8200
is for antenna or uni-directional cable systems. The HHR has the
highest headroom of any coax panel available in the market. Systems will meet FCC
part 15 requirements for using modulators with an antenna based system.
The DA-8200
is for bi-directional cable systems, providing a 5-42MHz back
channel for cable modems or interactive set-top boxes.

The model DA-8200 is the heart of a multi-room video distribution system.
The DA-8200 connects as many as 8 televisions to cable or antenna, while
maintaining compatibility with ChannelPlus video modulators and the 5V IR
repeating system.

Things To Watch For:
Herringbone interference on modulator channel (diagonal lines):
Herringbone interference on many channels, including modulator
channels (disappears when you remove the CATV/antenna feed):
You
may have chosen a channel number that is not completely vacant. Distant UHF
stations may not be watchable, but will cause interference if you try to create a
new channel at the same frequency. Also, cable companies often have extra
signals where there should be none. Try moving the modulator channel to another
number. You may have to add a low pass filter to remove the cable company noise.
If the filter does not work, try adding a DC-block to remove common mode
interference.
The
RF amplifier can be overloaded by abnormally strong signals. Often, you can cure
the problem with a simple attenuator. Use a variable attenuator and try to find a
signal level where the interference just disappears. Sometimes, the problem is one
station is far stronger than the rest. In this case, attenuating all of the signals with a
simple attenuator will cause the desired stations to be weak (snowy). You must
reduce the strength of the only offending station. A common FM trap will help if the
problem is a nearby FM tower. If the problem is a nearby TV station, often the
station management can provide suitable filters.
We recommend using only RG-6 coax when wiring a house. Why? Although good
RG-59 has only slightly more loss than RG-6, it is harder to find a good RG-59 with
wide bandwidth. RG-6 is a little more expensive and a little harder to run (it is
thicker). But you will avoid surprises if you stick to RG-6.
