strong separator?

[rdaneel]

When the installer came out yesterday to upgrade my 811 to a 622 (which I'm addicted to already) he used what he called a "strong separator" to split one coax from the dish into two tunable inputs for the 622. How does this work? Is it like a diplexer for combining and then separating 2 feeds from the dish into 1 piece of cable?

It is exactly that a separator not a splitter or a diplexar. It separates a Dish Pro Plus signal into two different satellites or bands of signal depending on what the tuner is calling for. It only works with dual tuner receivers and Dish Pro PLUS systems.

it uses "band-stacking" to allow a dual-tuner receiver to operate through one run of coax. As mentioned above, it ONLY works with dual-tuners and DPP lnb or switch
