Information is just a little limited, as others have said, what is it you are trying to achieve?

If you're wanting to run a feed to an additional decoder box, then the twin LNB is the best option, you could split the feed where the cable enters the house, but that would cause a reduction in quality on both decoders.

If you merely want to feed your existing signal around the house, there are decoders that have 2 RF outlets on the rear, but the second one is disabled by default, so you'll have to go into the settings menu to enable it.

In my house I did just that, I then changed the wall socket to a twin aerial socket, and ran a length of co-ax between the additional socket, and the second RF output with an in-line signal booster, this enabled me to feed the satellite signal to all the other wall sockets in my house.

Hope my input has been of some use, you can IM, or e-mail me if you need any further info.

Please supply more details!

What will you use it for?  A second tv or are you trying to split the signal for another satellite receiver?  What satellite service do you have?

If you purchased another receiver, you will need a twin LNBF to connect 2 single tuners for 2 separate rooms.  You may need an additional switch, depending on how many tuners are in the receivers.

If you just want to use your existing receiver and split the TV signal for a 2nd room, you need to connect your splitter to the " out to TV"  coaxial connection  with a small piece of cable to the single connection of the splitter.  Then you will use 2 longer pieces of cable.  1 will go to the TV in that room and the other cable to a 2nd tv or feed it to your existing cable line  for home distribution.  

Keep in mind if your receiver does not support UHF remotes, you will need to use your IR remote to change the channel, where the receiver is.

If you have Dish Network, I can go into greater details.

Answer 4

Well you would have to do it on the output from the receiver unless you have two receivers.

If you split the signal coming out of the receiver, you can then send the same picture to two locations in your house.

Is this what you're trying to do?

Answer 5

to the out side that goes to the tv on the back of the receiver

Answer 6

....you would have to put it on the reciever box below the dish... If you are enterprising, you could attach it to the end of the lead line coming into the house and then go invest in a lot of coazial...but all this is illegal and they will likely find out.
