| I got DirectTv installed I think last summer. Regular round dish and one receiver. I want to add a receiver in the basement. Can I just split the incoming wire from the satellite with a standard coax splitter? Or do you still need to get a dual LNB? |

You need a dual lnb. You can't splice into the exsisting wire. It should have come w/dual lnb. Get some RG-6 coax that is swept tested up to 2.5Ghz. DO NOT use the twist on ends sold by Radiotrash. Make sure you do not cut/kink/bend too sharply on the wire. If you need help or have Q's IM me at my home 'puter ID: corsair883 eta: your brother has either a Phase 3 dish, or a dual lnb w/ a multi switch to feed 4 IRD's. |
