Hello Folks, Sorry if this is not an appropriate forum for this question.
I have a DishNetwork System.
I have a dual LNB satellite dish on the roof - I am only running one cable into the house because I am using existing cabling that came with the house.
There are two cables run from the outside to my panel inside the house. One will bring in cable (TV) and the other I will use to bring in the satellite.
From my panel to each room is only a single cable, so I want to send both Cable and SAT to 4 of the rooms and plan to use a 3x4 multiswitch to do that.
So for pretty straight forward - but here are the questions:
- Running a second cable run from my dish will be tough (may require punching holes in drywall) - 3x4 switches require two SAT inputs - can I split my single line with a SAT specific splitter and use that as the dual inputs?
- should I use a powered 3x4 multiswitch? Do powered ones boost signal? which ones do you guys recommend that WORK with DISH?
Looking forward to your answers folks - thanks a lot.
