View Full Version : DTV Switches
I'm going to get a new install.
I want a Phase III dish
Tivo and 2nd room receiver.
House is wired for 6 rooms with RG6.
What switches would be needed to add the other 4 rooms in the future?
You will need to get at least a 4 x 8 or a 5 x 8 if you plan to diplex an OTA signal into the system. Also, you need to make sure the multiswitch is cascadable. I wouldn't worry about purchasing the switch right now the Phase III will support 4 outlets from the start and you will need 7. If you don't have specific requirements for the additional receivers just purchase them through DTV, it will be cheaper and when you hit the point of needing a multiswitch, it will be included with the installation, or at least it is now that I am adding a Tivo and require 5 outlets.
