What is this?

I work for a Dish network retailer, and I did a Direct to Dish change over and I found this inline with the sat feed connected to the receiver.


What is it?

I have heard about a high freq. signal amp.
Is this one and the same?

Just wondering and if it works with Dish.

Thanks

looks like some sort of filter if you ask me.

It almost looks like a signal trap the cable companies use for internet setups. I don't think that's what it is, though.

I had one come in with my HR20 - 700 , it's an attenuator I believe... (never used)

I know we use them with the UHF remote antenna to filter out unwanted noise.
I have never seen one used inline with a sat feed.

Weird

I think it is an attenuator. I recall an issue where receivers very close to the dish would not work with the new signal verification program. The cure was to add a bunch of line to attenuate the signal down to a level the signal verification junk would accept. The eventual cure was to add an attenuator and save the cable.

When I was with dish network I need to get one to filter the signal so my two RF remotes did not take controller of the other box. In short it cuts the RF signal.

It's a bug planted by the feds - removing it just got you 10 years
