I ran the large all-in-one cable from the big dish in to the analog receiver the dish came with, but I connected the coax portion of the cable to a DiSEqC, I also connected the bedroom Ku coax to the DiSEqC and ran a jumper coax to the bedroom receiver. Life was good - I had Ku and C on the bedroom receiver.
Now my husband wants me to add the C-band to the living room receiver. I considered buying a dual tuner receiver, but I thought possibly I could use the same setup I had in the bedroom - just use a DiSEqC. I'm just not sure if I can move the motorized dish through the DiSEqC. I hope that makes it more clear. |
You will burn out the
DiSEqC switch if you place it between the receiver and motor but if you placed the DiSEqC switch between the motor and lnbf it should be fine. You may be better off looking into the loop through feature on your receivers. As Bill has stated "T'ing" the line will result in signal drop to the point neither receiver will have C Band. This is why you are running a dual output lnbf for Ku.
Are you going to watching both tv's at the same time? Perhaps a
multiswitch would do the trick. I do not know enough about them to make any recommendation as to which one but basic concept is (as I understand it) x lnb / lnbf feeds in and y outputs for receivers.
