Satellite problem

[GarryzTopShop]

I have installed a new splitter in my motor home but only getting one singal out of it, I have a front and rear tvs, I am using two direct receivers, can anyone give me help with this,Garry

You'll have to be more clear to get any help. Did you install a splitter in the coax between the dish and the receiver(s)? Is there a dedicated coax for satellite built into your RV?

 

[boba]

What receiver, what dish are you using?

 

[TheKrell]

The OP says he has "two direct receivers", which I interpreted as being DirecTV receivers. Move this thread?

Single cable coming from the satellite , I installed a Ideal 2-way hdtv/digital cable splinter,this is what I have done,Garry

If you are saying that you have two receivers and you have added a splitter to the single cable to from the dish to feed them, you can't do that. Each receiver has to have it's own feed from the dish.

I only have a single cable coming from the satellite , Garry

 

[TheKrell]

Which receiver do you have?

 

[Bobby]

or receivers?

If you only have 1 line from the dish, then you can only run 1 receiver (most likely, unless you have SWM / HD system, but I doubt it). You can not just split a sat signal. Occasionally it will work depending on the channels you are watching, but for the most part it won't.

Well, one port can work for 2 211's depending on the LnB used.

He has not.

I was just fixing to ask the same question. Makes all of the difference in the world as to getting the correct information to solve his problem.
