Great video. As a splitter I would recommend an Satellite/Terrestrial TV Combiner SSC-4 (Quad) also known as an antenna/satellite multiplexer. You have one input from the Antenna 47 - 862 MHz, 4 inputs from LNB, and 4 outputs which the antenna signal is combined. At each output you must install a diplexer to separate the antenna and satellite signal. The antenna amp is mandatory for a good reception also a satellite amplifier. The type of amplifiers that I use is the Inline Coax Cable Amplifier DVB-T/SAT, 18dB, 5-2300MHZ amplifier. You can mount it directly on the splitter or diplexer also has a power pass for LNB. If you use it for antenna I would recommend a power inserter if you want to connect it directly to TV a 5 or 12 Volt power inserter is good. Or turn the antenna power on from your terrestrial set-top-box. I have some friends that are new into free to air satellite and antenna reception and I recommend your videos.
@@NorthcoasterHobby Don't know why UA-cam deleted my comment but I will type it again. I have 4 satellite receivers, 4 TV sets and 2 FM-DAB+ radios. Initially I wanted to run 2 cables to each TV, one for FM-DAB+, OTA TV the second for satellite TV. The problem was that I could only run one cable so I searched on internet and found out that the solution is to install a multiplexer and at the end diplexers with amplifiers. And I have all the signals on each cable, the reception is great, got the "best of both worlds" in short.
That will happen if the second receiver is turned to a channel on the opposite polarity as the primary receiver. Example: primary receiver is on a vertical polarized channel, second receiver is on a horizontal polarized channel- signal lost. If they’re both tuned to the same polarity channel, no problem.
I have only used the splitter before the DiSEqC. I suppose it could work after the switch, so long as the receivers are set up with the correct commands. But I have never tried that before.
I work for DirecTV Commercial. The twist on connector shown here is grounds for termination. Not meaning terminating your ground wire but rather, you lost your job. (:
Great information. I just had to upgrade my receiver, and it doesn't have the TV out feature my last one did. I used ot to use one receiver for 2 tvs, so can you tell me if and how I might be able to do that.? Thank you in advance
Compression are by far the best connections; no argument there. Crimped and twist-on work fine for indoor connections, especially for the DIY’er with limited tools.
Nice video. The other day I went to a store and asked for satellite splitters so I can connect 2 receivers to 1 LNB. The guy there showed me one splitter similar to yours (with the label 'power pass') but told me that such splitters can't serve 2 receivers at the same time; one of them must be turned off so the other receiver can get signals from the LNB. I asked him what the point of selling them and he said these are used in hotel TVs.. Now I watched your video and somehow got confused. Was that store guy wrong?

Sounds like a good setup there. Thanks again for watching and for the comments.
@UCTze77D26U0keYLuXZ2Pwaw A sensible solution.

@@Nicholas_Chris Strange, I replied ‘A sensible solution’ to it earlier.
The guy sounds like Vin Diesel....Cool!
My splitter has the same power pass printed on both output but the first receiver lose signal when i turn on the second receiver 🤔

0:33 also for Cable TV that black RCA.
Not in North America, the bandwidth is too narrow.
So it can split signals from the disec switch...

You’re going to terminate me because of my termination? Good thing I’m just a hobbyist.
I’m well aware that compression is the way to go.

What types of outputs does the receiver have?
Good information., but the twist on connectors are the worst connectors ever made. The crimp on connectors are not much better.

I have one of these splitters splitting a signal to 2 receivers and have no problems. Thanks for watching!📡📡
You can't watch channels with different Polarizations with these that's one channel with Vertical & another with horizontal
What's difference between Out Splitter & Tap Off splitter?
