Four Satellite Receivers Installation.

If you know the basics on Satellite setup, connecting either one or four Satellite receivers is a simple thing to do. The following diagram shows you how to setup four Satellite Receivers in one house:

As you can see from the diagram above, if you want to perform a Multiroom Receivers Install, you MUST run an individual cable from each room to the dish. In the example above, we have four rooms with four different recievers. Thus, four lines are required to get this system up and running. In otherwords, a line for each receiver MUST be connected to the dish.

If you're wiring the rooms using a Star Choice eliptical dish, 4 lines are run directly from dish to each room. Same application is done for either BEV or Dish Network if and only if you are using a Quad style LNB. If you have a regular dual LNB, then, you have to connect a 4 way multiswitch.

If you are wiring a DirecTV system, same thing is applied. The latest one Triple DSS LNB has four outputs. Thus, direct lines are used. If you have only a dual LNB, you will need a DirecTV multiswitch. This multiswitch will be connected between the Dish and receivers at home. If it has a power supply, the switch must be connected inside. If not, outside, will work perfectly fine.
