I live in an apartment building that uses stacking to put 3 sats on a one line single cable drop to each apartment (101, 110, 119) . And for any naysayers out there, yes this is possible, and yes this is how it is implemented in my building.
My question is this: My current setup allows me to get the 101 sat just fine using a splitter, a sonora destacker and a 2x4 multiswitch. However, I'd like to be able to get the 110 and 119 as well since I want to get an HD TiVo.
I know a product exists from NAS products (I can't post a link since it wont allow me, but go to tinyurl and add ctbh2 to the end for the product I'm talking about) that has a multisat single in and dual or quad IRD out, but I don't know of anywhere I can buy it, and a call to NAS products just says to contact PACE, and I doubt PACE would sell me one of these.
So, I'm wondering if any input from you all might help me figure out how to emulate what this unit might be doing using a combination of destackers, splitters, (tone generators?) etc., and a multiswitch.
Also just an FYI - If I use my sonora destacker and I put the output from the destacker into one of the 22KHz inputs on a 4x8 multiswitch during the satellite setup process (I forget which one it is, I think it's the 18v/22KHz input), the TiVo recognizes very high signal strength for both the 119 and 110. The problem is that when I go over to the next page, it says that 110 and 119 are "not detected".
Is there anything we can do to get this working?
Thanks!
