Question

2 Sat. receivers, one has loop through facility, the other not. How can I make use of this loop through connection and get channels from both of these receivers simultaneously without changing TV input cable ?

Answer 1

use a spliter, like You would for for one receiver to 2 t.v.s only turn it around. You may have to turn off the power to the receiver NOT in use.

Answer 2

They make input selection boxes and sell them almost anywhere (Radio Shack, Ebay, Etc) that will give you anywhere from 2 inputs to 1 all the way to 8 input to 1.  You connect any and all your inputs to the input side and then select which signal you want to pass through to the TV... either via a button or remote control... they are around $10.

Answer 4

If your TV has only one input what you will do is to purchase an RF Modulator an connect both receivers to the device, the RF Modulator will have a coaxial out that will connect to the TV so when turning on a receiver it will automatically display on your TV, that way you don't need to change input.
