HELP! Splittling the satellite cable.

[stewart715]

I am using a Triple-LNB satellite dish with a multiswitch built in (4 outputs directly from the dish). However, I have 5 TV's. Is there anyway to add an additional multiswitch to one of the 4 lines to accomodate 5+ recievers or does each of the 4 lines have to be connected to the multiswitch in order for in to function properly?

Thank you!

If you need all three satellite position signals on all three receivers, you will need a cascadable 4x8 or 5x8 multiswitch.

You can, however, get by with a cheap 3x4 switch, if you feed two of the four lnb lines into the multiswitch. You will, however, get only 101 on the four multiswitch outfeeds.
