Hello. I have a question about splitting the satellite signal for DirecTV so I can use two receivers in one room. So far, it looks like it's going to be a lost cause, but I'm hoping that there is a way I can do this.
I live in a 3-bedroom apartment that's already wired with DirecTV. Each apartment has two different signals entering into it. Both signals can be accessed through what looks like two standard cable outlets in the living room, and one of the lines is shared in one bedroom, the other line is shared in two bedrooms. We already have one receiver in the living room, and the other receiver is in my room, so we are using both signals for our apartment.
We have already tried splitting the signal in my room, but I can't get any channel I want at any time. Apparently this has something to do with the transponders. We thought about using a multiswitch, but those are for the satellite dish and we don't have access to a dish. I was wondering if there was a special kind of splitter that is available, although I haven't seen anything out there that can without running into the transponder problem. If there's nothing available now, does anyone know if there will be any new technology coming for it down the road, like any special receivers?
Thanks in advance, and if you need any more information I will try and get it for you.
