OTHER Splitter Question

[stecle]

I am attempting to run 2 receivers off 1 LNB. I am using an Invacom single output LNB. I have attached a picture of the splitter that I am using.

When I connect the splitter the master receiver works fine. The slave receiver which is connected to the non power passing port has the issue. When I do a blind scan I get a duplicate of all the channels at 850 mhz lower.

For example, when I scan 91w the ABC News one mux scans in at 12013 where it should be. However I get a duplicate of the ABC News one mux at 11163.

I appreciate all feedback.

I think you need a dual-output LNB to do what you're wanting to do

The slave receiver's LNB LO setting is wrong. Match the slave STB LNB type to match the master STB.

So you don't need a dual output LNB to run 2 receivers on one LNB?

The slave receiver is limited to the polarity of the master.

I already checked that. They are both set: Universal 9750-10600

If you don't need the low band, then change your slave to standard 10600 low with 22khz on. Should only scan once then.

I would not think that the act of placing a splitter into your system would cause your slave to be 850 Mhz low. There has to be another reason. I am using a splitter similar to yours to feed a Motorola DSR6000 commercial receiver and the receive frequency is spot on.

Both STBs must have the 22KHz switch setting manually to the ON position, not auto.

The slave STB doesn't know the master STB has locked the internal band switch to on, so when it Blind Scans, it finds the high band channels in the low band scan (off).

The master STB sets the polarity and the band.

I just re-read the post. I think Titanium is right.

That has been a big edit from your previous post, if I remember correctly.
But yes, Titanium is right. And catamount also, but that is another solution.

Ya, the first thing I saw was the same splitter which I had tried for a similar thing, but instead of a splitter, it would only work as a combiner.

The STB's will not allow me to change the 22KHz settings while using the Universal LNB setting.

If your STB limits the 22KHz setting in Universal LNB type, set the LNB type on both STBs to Standard (single) type with LO 10600 and 22KHz ON like catamount suggested.

Thanks Brian, I will give that a try. I didn't realize that the 22Khz setting had any effect if you didn't have a switch connected to it.

Universal LNBFs have a built-in 22KHz switch to change between Low band (22KHz - OFF) 10.7-11.7GHz and High Band (22KHz - ON) 11.7 - 12.75GHz).
