New member Username: MaltsterPost Number: 2 Registered: Mar-07 | thanks for the response; i am using a fortec cloned to a 2700 pansat, single standard lnb (approx 10 yrs old); and i am splitting the signal to power two receivers, using an old regular tv cable spliter. do i need to rescan every time? or is there a better spliter out there |
Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 1497 Registered: Oct-06 | All yo need is an LNB that has 2 outlets Called Dual Circular LNB ($15 off e-bay) 1 Coaxial input to each receiver Yo can't use splitters or yo'll have polarity problems just like what is going on now. Circular for 61.5/82/91/110/119,148 with 20" dish Linear for 97/121 with 30" dish If yo have Multiple Satellites and would like to use both receivers then Yo need a DISEqC switch. It looks like a 4 input splitter but the right kind for high frequency required for satellites 2 DISEqC (1 for each receiver) Also required to match each input to each LNB of satellite respectively. Along with simple antenna setup. |

The part were yo are splitting I would try to eleminate problem by not using splitter. Yo have to provide a list of hardware So I don't have to guess what yo got They maybe a better bin for your fortec or didn't use correct bin to start with. If yo got only one receiver and would like to share to different rooms Click here https://www.ecoustics.com/cgi-bin/bbs/show.pl?tpc=2&post=1063352#POST1063352 LIST ALL YOUR HARDWARE |
