Guess it's obvious why I ask such easy questions of you folks. Have the know how, just not the knowledge...yet. Thanks.

Here is the set-up. DirecTV Standard, 18" Round-Dual LNB with 2 long cables to 2 inline passive amps to a 3x4 Steren multiswitch to receivers to TV's. All works great (Thanks again). Will I be able to use a Terrestrial Antenna receiving the new FTA DTV only, through the third input of "this"...

Already have an account, but thanks for the answer. I meant it would not be a lease unit, but a purchased one. My questions may seem overly simplistic to you folks, because this is what you know. On different site the opposite could likely be true. :cool:

Thanks All All went well with set-up. Placed passive amps between dish and right before multiswitch (3x4). Have 2 receivers active with two ports available. Fired up first time. Ground block installed and no Terminators. Now to save me some more time, could someone please give me the simple on...

I went with the C2Q X3370 (same as Q9650), 8GB OCZ Reaper, Gigabyte EP45-UD3R MB, WD 1TB HD, BFG GTX-295 GPU and put it in a P182 Case. Added Vista Ultimate 64, Office Ultimate and some other goodies for around $2500. This is top line 775 socket rig with all fixes and tweaks known. In time...

I have overstaying my welcome with this stupid question of terminators, as it applies, but web search comes up about half and half with the answer. Clarification, the third "input" will not be used with the 3x4 multiswitch. Found this...

Sealing with F4 Tape and Boot. Will try amps, if no difference on final, will not use. One less break in the line.

Environmental cap and stow. Done. :up

Since your Certified. Care to clarify "Terminators on unused ports of multiswitch" question as it applies specifically to my application?

Disregarded.:)

Noted. So leave unused open? Will look into further. Thanks.

To quote myself: "... there is alot of info in here. Probably more than I will ever need." However thanks for the heads up on SWM. This is a simple installation for "work". STD svc, dual LNB, twin runs to ground block to reg. multiswitch, single runs to receivers, good cable and conns...

:)Thanks William1 and jdspencer. My research gave me pretty much this same info. Just needed confirmation due to conflict with coworker helping with install. Passive amps are being added after multi primarilly because of the long run, but also to compensate for any loss at the ground...

No takers? Will check back later then.

Hi all, Just joined yesterday and there is alot of info in here. Probably more than I will ever need. Question on introduction page about multiswitch was answered right away. Thanks again. Question now is do I really need a Coax Ground Block where the cables go into the building? Have...

Thanks! Any feedback on the groundblock. Also, we are using F-Conn FS6U connectors.

Thank you for quick respond and welcome. Headed out door now. Just a follow up question. 85' from dish to building entry with total run of 240' to multiswitch. Short runs thereafter. Should I install coax ground block at building entry? Have a dual block 3GHz. Cable is Belden 7916A and...

Hi all, new guy here. Just found this site today and look forward to learning a little. Getting ready for work now, so no time to talk. One quick question if I may though. At work we have a single 18" DirecTV dish with single element dual LNB and only utilize one feed to one receiver...
