Bronze Member Username: SumpEast coast USA Post Number: 44 Registered: Aug-09 | no .. usually sat stuff is in the higher freq, then basic cable splitter more complicated than that need more info to advise you what is the setup now LNB type and brand is there and diSEqC switch inline now ? how many coax coming from sat how many recievers do you want to hook up type and brand |

Silver Member Username: BernardmiPost Number: 639 Registered: Dec-07 | Do you want to build your own.... OK it is cheap but will work. Pry open a TV splitter. One in Two out. Remove everything inside. Solder a direct wire between input side and port 1 Solder a 10 pf capacitor between input side and port 2 Port 1 is your DC-Through from your FTA receiver to your Sat antenna. This receiver will control the antenna and polarity. Port 2 is for your second FTA receiver. That receiver won't control anything. Will only be able to sniff the first receiver signal and polarity. Enjoy this cheap low-cost solution. I have a bunch of those myself. Usefull all the time. Same splitter will work to split GPS signal on a active antenna. |
