New member Username: RivmanSOL Y PLAYA, PR PR Post Number: 7 Registered: Jul-08 | Is it possible to split the signal from the cable that runs from the DiSeqc (receiver port) to the back of the receiver, to connect another receiver. In simple terms; connect two 2 receivers to one input line from DiSeqc. Has anybody done it? |
Gold Member Username: PlymouthQuebec city, Quebec Canada Post Number: 3615 Registered: Jan-08 | J-Ron Receiver get signal on 2 different voltages for Vertical and Horizontal(linear LNB) or Right and left(circular LNB), that is why you need dual outputs LNB and 1 output for each receiver. Split signal can give only signal if you use vertical or Horizontal on both. |
Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3333 Registered: Oct-06 | Answer is yes yo can But yo'll need a 2000MHz splitter The problem with splitter yo can't change polarity on 2 different receivers at same time Yo have to share polarity when split signal Best way to use dual LNB Dual LNB has 2 independent outlets |
Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 2877 Registered: Oct-05 | The voltage has nothing to do with splitting the signal. When you run a dual output LNB the practice is to combine the left side 13v with each other and the right side 18v as well. Based on your statement you would need to combine both voltages to make this work. That being said, the voltage has nothing to do with the ability to split the signal. If you think about it, by combining each side of two lnbs with the right voltage you have in essence split the signal. So your statement hold no water. Of course, this will cause some bashing, but I can care less, just so long as the correct information gets to the person asking the question. Bottom line is, you CAN NOT split the signal past the DISEcQ switch, but it has nothing to do with voltage! |
Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3334 Registered: Oct-06 | PRFRMNJ Yes yo can split high frequency I do it all the time 2000MHz or 2GHz splitter is required The challenge is will he be happy with it or not? |
Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 2879 Registered: Oct-05 | King, The point here is that the statement just before my post is that the reason you can not split the signal is becuse of voltage. Not o mention, if you, I or anyone would try to get it done properly would defeat the purpose, but that being said, this is about simple solutions and the simple solution is not to and try a diferent approach. By simply adding a zinwell 3x4 swith you turn a dual output lnb into a quad output. This is done by the switch design which increases the frequency in order for it to allow for additional outputs. Once again, I'm going to keep this simple as going back and forth with your over technical data will not help anyone. (Trust me, I admire your skills and commitment, but the average person would not understand what the heck we would be talking about). So in short terms "KISS" Keep It Simple S(*&& |
Gold Member Username: PlymouthQuebec city, Quebec Canada Post Number: 3619 Registered: Jan-08 | Here is the question "In simple terms; connect two 2 receivers to one input line from DiSeqc. Has anybody done it?" |
Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 2880 Registered: Oct-05 | Plymouth - That will not work. for a few reasons! But I will give you the #1 reason. If one receiver sends a command to the DISEcQ switch to open port #1 (where 119 should be) the other receiver can not watch anything on port #2 (where 110 should be) cause you have one port already open by the firt receiver that send the command. Should the second port open on subsequent command to the DISEcQ then the first receiver will lose signal cause that port would close. They can both watch the same sat 119 or 110 at the same time but when you change sats from receiver to receiver only the last command o process will prevail. Now to the original question. The J-Ron is in PR which means he is using two separate dishes(one for each sat) and standard LNB's which have a dual output. Unless he is adding more then two receivers then nothing needs to be added. If he wants a quick 4 receier solution then add a zinwell 3x4 for each lnb. If he wants more then 4 receivers then add a 4x8 22khz switch to his setup. |
Gold Member Username: PlymouthQuebec city, Quebec Canada Post Number: 3620 Registered: Jan-08 | PRFRMNJ I totally agree with you, but J-RON dont do mention how many receiver and LNBs. I just explained how polarity work on receiver and give a answer with infos he give. |
Silver Member Username: JustforhahasPost Number: 248 Registered: Jul-08 | The bottom line is, if 2 LNB's and sats are in use (wanted) with dual (not Twin) LNB's, then ya need to run 2 cables from each LNB to 2 disque switches, then a cable from EACH disque switch to each receiver , presuming you still only have/want 2 receivers...You cannot split the signal from 1 disque switch to 2 receivers and expect both receivers to work properly....Again you'll need 2 dual LNB's and 2 disque switches, if ya want reception on 2 receivers... |
Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3335 Registered: Oct-06 | Plain and simple Can yo split a DISEqC switch to 2 receivers ANSWER IS YES 100% with a 2000MHZ splitter 1- to each receiver Yo turn on one receiver while turning the other off I said I do it all the time - Yo can watch two simultanious independent H polarities on both receivers at same time - If yo leave one receiver on V polarity Second receiver H polarity will over ride Yo don't accept it Yo try it yorself Get a 2000MHz splitter off e-bay or K-mart |

B) Also you can can connect from the port back of you receiver marked IF Output to your second receiver. Not a very good installation but I have tried it both ways and it does work. BTW King I just knew if I stay here long enough we would agree on something. |
Silver Member Username: JustforhahasPost Number: 250 Registered: Jul-08 | wrong answer hawk...that 2nd receiver will be a slave to the first one..the receivers will NOT work independently and properly as I said...you people should listen to me and PRFRMNJ..again, correct answer is NO! |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3340 Registered: Oct-06 | I do agree IF out won't control second receiver I think what he meant is (Loop out) Loop out is like a splitter Splitter can work like I said above 1- to each receiver But must turn off one reciver while watching the other J-RON might be happy with that |
Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3342 Registered: Oct-06 | J-RON Read this section about splitting satellite signal Come back with questions https://www.ecoustics.com/cgi-bin/bbs/show.pl?tpc=2&post=1496579#POST1496579 |
Silver Member Username: PsychmonsterRhodium Member aint nuthin... Post Number: 913 Registered: Jul-06 | right over most of your small heads |
Silver Member Username: MuchoPost Number: 590 Registered: Dec-07 | King, what may I ask is the difference between connect or Loop through? B) Also you can can connect from the port back of you receiver marked IF Output to your second receiver. Not a very good installation but I have tried it both ways and it does work. I only answer the man's question, he didn't ask for a better way. Yoy can't answer peoples questions by just reading and not testing. |
Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3350 Registered: Oct-06 | "King, what may I ask is the difference" WTF Speak englic MOFO - IF input is from LNB - IF out is to TV - IF out can goto anothoer receiver as Antenna Input - Loop out is to a second receiver if necessary "B) Also you can can connect from the port back of you receiver marked IF Output" What the fluck is this? How hard is that Ass_gap? Work on yor IQ kid This is embarrassing I thought yo were making progress last month Yo can connect IF out to another receiver as an antenna input That is considered modulated frequency in 900MHz His question was how to split DISEqC signal I hope this helps yo kid That's what LK was trying to tell yo as a slave unit Read it 10 times so yo can get it |
