    Default Piggy Backing Multiswitch

    Quick question about multiswitches.

    Is it possible to put a splitter on the output of one and will it still work?

    In the sense can you connect a 2 port splitter to the output of a multiswitch and be able to view both horizontal, vertical?


    Thanks in Advance

    Not at the same time, but yes it should work. You would want to use a splitter which has power pass on both legs though.
    What would you do if your server was stolen or failed beyond repair?

    Why?

    Does your multiswitch not have enough outputs?

    You will dual out LNBs to feed both the V & H polarities to powerpass splitters then to the multiswitches. However what size switch do you have. There's a good thread on them here

    ive got one 3 in 4 out multiswitch and a handful of different splitters with powerpass on all the legs.

    Ive had the tv antenna cabled to about 10 rooms in the house(all arent being used atm but there is provision for them).

    I do have a dual output lnb.

    you buy a multiswitch so you don't have to root around with splitters etc and not have issues with watching channels on differently polarised TP's then you want to use spliters on the outputs of the multiswitch ...keh?
    I'd be looking at getting a bigger multiswitch.

    understand where ur comming from mate

    the 3 in 4 out is enough for the moment as we only have 4 tv's in the household(and thats all i will probably have at one time). I have all those splitters as well and wanted to make use of them. If i cant no biggy

    thanks for all the advice
