OK here's a nice challenging question, How do I connect two satellite receivers to two TVs using only one dish

Question

I have two receivers, two TVs in different rooms, and I have one dish. One of the receivers is already connected, but the other one is in my room, and I want to connect it without using any professional help, I want to do it by myself, using your help guys. So is anyone up to the challenge??

Answer 1

Generally with Dish you should have a 4:1 or 8:1 splitter somewhere for expansion.  Follow the cable from the dish and see if it leads to one.  If not, install one yourself, with an amplifier, then run the dish into the input and the 2 lines from the output to your TV

I am a Dish tech, and Biker Bob is right

Answer 3

Easy, if the dish has dual LNB. If you look at the dish you'll have the dish looking part and a support coming off the dish part that holds the horn and LNB. If your dish only has one of these horns you can't do what you want if you have 2 or more you can hook a receiver up to each of these LNB (low noise block amplifier) each has a standard coaxial connection on them and only one is going to be hooked up to a TV the others are so you can do exactly what you want multiple TVs off one dish. If you only have a single LNB check with a local dealer maybe you can buy a dish & dual LNB or check on ebay, you may find a deal there, or garage sale.

Answer 4

the back of the dish has 2 cable connections,plug the other 1 in and presto
