1 Dish 3 Recievers setup

[Bash2]

I want to setup 1 dish to 3 different receivers in the house. What equipment do I need? Any links for the equipment or the name of the equipment will be great. So I need a switch and LNBF that has 3 outputs? Does the switch can be installed inside house and than run three rg6 cables to three receivers? 1 Receiver is already setup but like to watch FTA channels in the other rooms in the house. Looking for simple setup as possible

Thank You

what do you currently have for a setup?

Do you know if the LNB has a dual output or single?

If its dual, use the attached photo

disregard the 2nd LNB...hook both lines from the LNB to a 3x4 or 2x4 multiswitch...hook up 3 receivers. All 3 receivers can see the satellite (both polarities)

Iceberg currently running a single output on Galaxy 25 using 36 in Dish with Omegasat DSB5700 receiver. Thx for that link the pic help out alot

2x4 = two inputs (one LNB), and four outputs can I hook 3 Recivers with this setup? My Equimpent is 1 LNBF output, 31 inch Dish using Omegsat DSB5700 receiver. I Ill have to buy 2 LNBF with 2 outputs and that switch that is on the link you have posted. So i gotta get 2 LNBFs with 2 output each? 4 out LNBF would not work??

Iceburg thanks for your help.

Sorry about posting twice my browser timed out

All you need is a dual LNB...just one
KUL2 Dual Output 0.4db Noise figure Sadoun Standard Linear Offset LNBF LNB

and with the multiswitch you can hook up to 4 receivers

setup would be as such (crude drawing not as good as Anole's is)


LNB output 1----------13v side of multiswitch....output 1 to receiver 1
LNB output 2----------18v side of multiswitch....output 2 to receiver 2
----------------------------------------------------------output 3 to receiver 3

I use to have 3 receivers hooked up to a dish aimed at G18 (formerly G10) and it worked great

a 2x4 or 3x4 works the same way....the 3rd input is for an OTA antenna

[Mr Tony]

no problem. We're here to help

couple questions..
Are you going to run new cables to the other rooms?
Is there already cables in that room for cable or an OTA antenna?

I am setting this up for a family member Ill find out tommorow when i go to her house and post here.

 

[Mr Tony]

oh ok...reason I ask is if they already have cable or antenna (OTA) run into those rooms, you might be able to get by with not running a new cable and rather diplexing into it. You can combine (diplex) antenna or cable & satellite into one line if you dont want to run extra cables.
