I can use this multiswitch for FTA Receivers? if can use this I can put only 1 input lnb signal and have 2 or 4 outputs?

this multi switch works with a dual lnb. It has to have 2 input signals to work. 2x4 multi-switch i= 2 inputs will give you up to 4 outputs.

Yes , with the following condition - the lnb must be a 2 port/output lnb (or higher) and this switch will give you 1 to 4 . It will not work with a 1 port/output lnb. Hope this helps

Stephen G., I'm interested in connecting 2 receivers and switching between them. I have a modern home theater receiver (Yamaha RX-V477) and a vintage receiver (Realistic STA-76 circa 1975). Each one does some things better than the other and I want to easily switch between them depending on what I want to do (like play vinyl on the vintage) and watch movies on the home theater receiver. If you know of something that can do this, please let me know. Thanks.

I have three receivers connected and all working fine. Try switching around connection to different outputs to see if the Lnb is the problem or the receiver

There is a channel switch on each transmitter/controller. Simply switch one to "1" and the other one to "2".

I would suggest NOT. This device is used only for multiple speaker distribution from one amplified source. I am not an "ee", but the reverse logic (4 sources to one speaker source) may appear to work, but you may cause harm to the other sources depending on how the sources were designed. I am not certain why you would want four receivers input to the same system, unless you are operating a store. You should consult a local expert if you are certain you want to do this.

Cheryl,Only if you want to hook up more than 3 receivers. The dish has three outputs. If you want 4 or more you would need the DPP44. The connection instructions for 4 or more can be found following this link: http://www.prosatellitesupply.com/pdf_files/DPP44_Switch_Installation_Guide.pdf, Good luck. Howard Welch

Yes,if you have a SWM dish with one output, that output acts like the SWM1 port out of SWM8 multiswitch (in effect, the SWM dish has a SWM8 built into it and has one line running out). Wiring from a SWM dish is the same as a SWM8 using only the SWM1 port. Hope this helps!

I used 2 receivers with one transmitter in the past. I know they have a unit with multiple chimes and will receive a few different transmitters. Check the website for the one that fits what you need, or call their tech support. They are very helpful and know their stuff. Hope this helps.

In short, no. This is strictly a Distribution Amplifier. Takes one input and sends that signal and send out 4 independent amplified signals. You cannot spread/stretch the single input out over the 4 outputs. They have several new items out there, our company is presently utilizing the "Triple Head To Go" system. Hopefully this is helpful.

Short answer: Yes it works. No splitter needed. Nomenclature counts. "SWM" means "Single Wire Multiswitch" thus the LNB has only one wire for the multiple LNBs contained in the feed horn. Likewise, the "SWM-8" means that the switch will work with the SWM LNB. It requires ONE INPUT, and allows OUTPUT to 8 different receivers all of which can be tuned to different channels. No splitter is required.

This is a 5 channel tx. A 4 channel rx won't support the 5th channel switch.

There are only 3 channels, no 4th. It can be set up to do several things, but not tied to a 3 position switch. I would suggest you google and download the manual, as it will explain the limitations better.

no it cannotthe a/b switch is a channel not an independent zone you would need to upgrade to a multi zone receiver

so make sure you have the settings correct on your FTA satellite box for this LNB type, check your receiver manual if necessary. if not set correctly you will not get a quality signal. Since you are only replacing the LNB, you should have no problem with acquiring a signal, but also make sure you set the LNB to the correct skew. Best to use the "quality" signal scale on the receiver as you are moving it (the signal level just provides power info to the LMB and back not satellite signal power, so use the quality scale, they both work hand and hand but when you have a good high quality signal you will have the best capability for the system not to rain fade on you and have picture break up). Also move the LMB towards and away from the dish on the bracket to see if you can also get a better quality signal. Remember the signal change will take a little time to move so don't rush the movement of the LMB, do it slowly. Show Less

This is designed to take a signal that is on one input and take that exact signal and put it out to another input. It is not designed to take the signal and split it up into multiple different segments and broadcast only 1/3 or 1/4 of that signal to the other outputs. In other words, it will only broadcast 100% of the input through each of the out puts. I hope this helps!

I actually did this and it does work. You have to make sure that you get two units that have the same frequency. HOWEVER, you cannot use one switch to control two boxes (my original plan) -- it will alternate them on and off.

If using analog, yes. But if you are using optical out for example to your receiver, then the answer is no. You can only use 1 type of output at a time.
