I have 2 VS Ultra. I tried using 2-way splitter from RadioShack Frequency Range 40-2150 MHZ, but if i turn one receiver, second looses the signal.

Whats the best 2-way splitter you recommend ?

Well
That splitter is as good as yo can split any high frequency

- Yo can't split a signal and do 2 different polarities at same time
- Yo can watch 2 differnt channels on same polarity
- Or turn off one receiver while watching the other

Best way to split a signal is to use dual LNB
This is a great section if yo got time read it and come back to ask questions

Ok i read the post and understand V & H.
So what is the solution for me ?

I have Echo 3, 7 , 8 & Nimiq 1.2 and currently using VIEWSAT 4x1 DiSEqC Switch.

Do you recommend i use DPP44 switch to make both receivers works ?

Hello King:

I have a dp34 and viewsat 4x1 DiSEdC switch.

Is it possible to use both of these switches to connect 2 receivers to 4 LNB pointing to ( Echo 3, 7, 8 & Nimiq 1.2 ) ?

Please advice. Thanks.

If all yo want 2 receivers and up to 4 satellites
This might be yor best choice:
Keep in mind each LNB must be dual output
Upload

Sat-1 to port-1 on both DISEqC switch
Sat-2 to port-2 on both DISEqC switch
Sat-3 to port-3 on both DISEqC switch
Sat-4 to port-4 on both DISEqC switch

2 receivers, 4 satellite simple wiring

My 110 and 119 are dual LNB with one connection and 61.5 and Nimiq 1.2 are single LNB.

So i have 3 dishes.

1. Dual LNB dish 500 ( 110 & 119 )
2. Single LNB 61.5
3. Single LNB Nimiq 1.2

so total 4 wires connecting to VIEWSAT 4x1 DiSEqC Switch. So based on this how can i make 2 receivers work ?

using dp34 u only get a max of 3 satelitte and using up to 4 receivers. and 1 condition all lnb's are dp. your only solution is 2 x 4x1diseqc and all your lnb's are dual .

i dont understand what you wanna say . dont think tooooooooooooooo much . dont complicate life . you can not split a signal perioddddddddddddddddddddddddd. it;s has 13V^ 18V ,DONT THINK OF SATE SIGNAL SAME WAY YOU THINK OF CABLE GOING TO A TV.

EACH LNB OUT PUT GOES TO 1 SWITCH TO 1 RECEIVER PERIOD /

"can i put a splitter between LNB and VIEWSAT 4x1 DiSEqC Switch."

Answer is yes

But won't be able to watch 2 different channels on 2 receivers from same satellite

As an example
Let's say yo got 61W, 91W, 110W, 119W
If 61W is single LNB but all other satellites are dual LNBs
Then it worth splitting 61W as it maybe enough to watch other sats thru 2 different DISEqC but will limit yo watch 61W on both receivers at same time

But yo want run to any problems if all LNBs are dual, wire to DISEqC switch like above diagram and yo'll be all set

I don't advice yo to buy DP44
It requires stackable LNBs DPP
make sure yor LNBs are dual
And simply use 2 DISEqC switches

King, the picture makes sense but I dont have dual LNB's. Just to make sure i understand dual LNB. When you say dual LNB, you mean this ?

Dual means has 2 output just like LNB above marked 119
or lik this
http://www.solidsignal.tv/prod_display.asp?PROD=101001
Twin LNB is like 110/119 but must have 2 outputs as well
Twin Quad is like this
