Hello,
I am a noob to this site, and I have a question that I need verification before I proceed with buying a multiswitch and running new cable, etc.
First off, I have a phase III 3 lnb dish with four lines. Two lines go to a HD Tivo receiver, one line goes to a standard receiver, and the last line goes to another standard receiver. We would like to replace one of the standard receivers with another Tivo receiver, thus need an additional line to take full advantage of the Tivo receiver's capabilities.
For this to work do I need to purchase a 4x multiswitch and run the extra line or is there another method?
If I need to purchase another multiswitch does it matter what type of 4x multiswitch it is or does it have to be an HD type like the Steren Phase III Multiswitch?
Thanks in advance!
-Steve
