Multiswitch for FTA and DirecTV

[kemefk]

Hello

I just changed my LNBF on my Globecast dish to a Universal LNBF to get PAS-9 and I just got it working (Thank you all for helping me when I had questions!!) I currently have DirecTV WorldDirect service which allows me to receive regular channels along with international channels. Please see the links below to see how my DirecTV dish and its LNBFs look like. Well, I want to somehow connect my DirecTV dish and my Globecast dish to a single coaxial cable which can split to my Globecast receiver and my DirecTV receiver. I am wondering if this is possible using multiswitches and/or any other devices? The only reason why I am asking is because I don't want to fish another cable from my roof into my living room.

looks ok... I approved your post... when you are below a certain number it will not let you post links...

Oh, I didn't know that there was a certain number of posts I must have before I could put links on. Thanks for the info.

Does anybody think this is possible or am I better off fishing a new line from my Globecast dish to my receiver.

You will need to run a second coax.

even if it would work and i'm not sure if it will but I think the basic rule of thumb here is to keep them seperate , it will save you a lot of future headaches.

alright then, looks like I have to start drilling some holes through the wall and roof tomorrow.
