F connector from satellite dish to 2 decoders.

[David071]

Hi everybody,
I have two different decoders in the same room that I want to use but from the one satellite dish. I get tired of disconnecting and re-connecting the F connector to the back of the decoders. Is there a switch or splitter you can buy which saves disconnecting and re-connecting please.
Thanks everybody.

Do you want both on?
Some decoders work as Master/Slave with a Feed through, the second box can only use the same polarity until you turn the Master OFF, then it has full control.
This assumes both on same Satellite.
Box model?

Hi Beer4Life,
No I don't want them both on at the same time.
I have the Openbox S10 for the general HD tp's and I also have the Azbox for the 4:2:2 feeds.
I get tired of having to unwind and change the F connector from one decoder to the other.
Thanks.

Does either box have F6 "FEED THROUGH"?

just go from lnb out on the openbox to lnb in on your other box with a patch cable.
just turn of the open box when you use the other box

Thanks carjackma and beer4life.
I will try the patch cable from the Openbox to the Azbox.

You could also use a dual output LNB which will hae 2 independant outputs for each receiver. Another option is a switch for the LNB cable.
