No, I do networking work with Cat5 so any type of enclosed device I would have called a switch, this is like a network hub, input/output device, it has four coax out with four coax inputs, imagine four exposed couplers all lined in a row, wherever you plug your satellite input is where it goes...

To further explain, there are two receivers, both only have one satellite input on the back, not two. I swear one was labeled 211 and the other 212, regardless, they are not dual tuner receivers. One input, one output.

So what will the topographical layout be of the coaxial cable coming out of the dish? Just two coaxial cables coming out of the lnb's of the dish, no splitters or anything else going into the receivers? If that is the case I'm going to order a 1000.2 for $85 and just be done with this.

Another question, Can one 1000.2 dish be used for two individual receivers? Or would I have to have two individual dish's to get all of the programming in each separate location?

OK I'll run the check switch on both receivers and post the info, It is in a beach house which I don't access regularly, I'll run the tests and get all of the information needed to further address my problem, and yes it was a friend of mine who had some nut job install it, therefore the problems...

Sorry to start a new topic but I see I didn't ask the question correctly in the previous topic and it seems my satellite lingo and info is on the lower end so I'll rephrase my layout, problem & question. Layout 1 Dish 500 with 110 & 119 printed on the white plastic cover, which I think is...

The LNB's have 110 & 119 printed on them

Can I use a diplexer to take the 110 & 119 signal and form it into one, then split that signal into two separate signals (four total) where they enter the house to form 4 coax connections, two for each room?

One important detail I left out is that the 212 shows only HD channels with no local channels or any non-hd channels while the 211 shows NO HD and only local programming and all other non-HD channels.

Thanks for the quick response I'll be sure to try that

Here is the layout 1 Dish 500 with two coaxial cables coming out of the dish. 1 Coax Cable into room 1 with a 211 Hooked up to it 1 Coax Cable into room 2 with a 212 Hooked up to it I can get a good signal strength of 82 on the 211 but only around 65 on the 212 The 212 shows only HD while...
