How to add a receiver to my existing directv dish?
-
I have a directv dish going to my living room to a dvr. I now want to add a standard receiver in another room. on the dvr there are 2 SATELLITE IN cable jacks and 2 cable coming in from the dish to the receiver. I first tried to split the 2 cables that are coming off the dish so that they will also run to my standard box. This worked but it made my dvr loose signal. What do I do? I really want to avoid having them come and install it for me. Thanks.

Answer:
leave the dvr as is, you don't need a multi switch. you need a line from the room that you want to add, to the dish. each tuner has to have its own line to the dish. your dvr just happens to use two. you cant split the sat feed lines, its shorts them out. your dish has four ports on the lnb, your dvr is using two of them and there is 2 remaining

The DVR box that you have require the two lines so you can recorde. You will need DTV to come out and run another line to the other room.

You need a 3x4 multiswitch and some coax cable. You have two cables coming from the dish. Those should be cut and the two lines go into the multiswitch where it says 18v and 13v. The other side of the switch will have four outputs. Two will go to your dvr and another will go to the other receiver. Everything will work after that.

You need to run another line from the dish to the new receiver.
