Question

Answer 1

You can connect one satellite dish to a million TV's, if you wanted to. All you need to do is connect the cable coming from the satellite dish, into one satellite receiver's coaxial input. Then, you would run a coaxial cable coming from that satellite receiver's output, into the next receiver's coaxial input, and then keep the pattern going. Go from the satellite box's coaxial output, into the other box's input. To connect the satellite boxes to the TV's, you would have to use an RCA cable, and go from the output in each satellite box, to the Input in each TV. You do have another option, though. You can purchase a 6-way coaxial splitter from this website for $9.99. To connect everything using this splitter, you would run the cable coming from the satellite dish, into the splitter's input. Then, you would run a coaxial cable from one of the outputs in the splitter, to the satellite box's coaxial input. Then, connect another coaxial cable from the splitter's output, into the other box's coaxial input. You would do that for all of the boxes. Then, you can connect the boxes to your TV with either coaxial or RCA cables. No matter what cable you use, you have to go from the output in the box, to the input in your TV.

Answer 2

I think as many as you want... I know we have the dish and it was up to use how many we wanted to hook up... It just costs more money per reciever.
