    Review: consumer receiver natively tuning 4:2:2

    Just a couple things to keep in mind, Be sure to turn LNB power "off" on the slave receivers Also, the slave receivers will only "see" the polarity V or H that the master receiver is currently tuned to The splitter works great, we use the V9 as the master for KU and have an Amiko, Edision...

    Review: consumer receiver natively tuning 4:2:2

    We use this 4-way splitter which has power pass on only one leg. This way you could make the V9 your "master" receiver and have up to 3 "slave" receivers :) https://www.amazon.com/Steren-201-234-Splitter-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B000E9U8H2
