will this splitter work to split signal to 2 basic directv receivers? no other equipment necessary? thanks

That's correct. In my case I have a directv 4 splitter. It is powered and it is there's. I have 4 boxes. I split one of the boxes off the directv splitter with the Zinwell for my son's box. Now have 5 boxes. You can watch what you want on either box.(Different channels). Works great with no loss of single. Have had hooked up that way for 6 months. Of course any box you hook up has to be activated by directv for it to work.

This will work with any of the current "Single Wire" dishes and receivers. If your dish has a single wire coming out of it, with a single LNB, you will be fine. It will NOT work with older dishes and receivers.

It will only work if your DirectTV dish is SWM type.If you are on SWM type, it means that all your equipment must also be of type SWM (which does know hot communicate with these type of spliters).

No, this device is for multiple tvs. What you need is a HDMI switch, not splitter.

yes.i used it to split the signal to two different players.one was a cable box of comcast.this worked fine.the 2nd was to a blue ray player .the picture was unstable and jittery.

In theory, yes, as that is what powered HDMI splitters are supposed to do...take the original signal and amplify it so a clean signal gets to multiple devices. In practice there are sometimes problems when connecting to equipment that is several years old as they may not have implemented the later HDMI standards. For instance, I wanted to send HDMI to a new tv at the end of a 50 ft hdmi cable as well as a four year old 'smart tv' adjacent to the dish receiver. Both tvs would get the same channel although only one would be turned on. The splitter worked fine for the newer tv, but the older one would never have audio UNTIL power was cycled on the splitter. I tried several splitters .... all exhibited the same symptom. Apparently the older tv didn't have the same interface standards as the newer so I do not think ANY splitter would have worked as I intended. Bottom line is you just have to try it. Chances are it will work.

Not this model. This model just splits the video signal into two streams so that you can drive two TV's with the same signal at the same time. I had to buy this splitter because my receiver HDMI output wasn't working and my TV does not have an HDMI port. So, I ran this splitter to have one stream going into my receiver audio input and one stream going into my TV through an HDMI to DVI adapter. There is a version of this splitter that has an A-B switch so that you can do what you want to do.

Depends on how strong of a signal you receive. I split the signal to 3 TV's with no issues. The box has only one Coax output but you can by a splitter to distribute to multiple TV's.

No! This works as a one way splitter. You'll need a switch box. If both devices are accidentally turned on at the same time you may damage your electronics.

This splitter is used for swim tech. installations for Directv. I wouldn't use it for any other purpose my self.....Contact Directv for your answer if you are concerned about its use .....

Yes. You just need a splitter. A signal booster is recomended when you split the signal.

I bought this to be able to get an internet signal. in theory that is what this is for, you can split the signal between two receivers in your home a Dvr and a regular receiver.

My splitter works 2 TV's just fine. I see no reason it would not work just as well with your 2 items provided they are working fine with a single line.

no. this splitter starts at one source and goes to two different tvs. not one tv to two different sources. sorry. i will say that product is out there. make sure you have good hdmi cables.

Yes this should work. It is a combiner, not a splitter and there is a difference. I had the same problem trying to use 2 DB8 antennas. This combiner solved the problem.

Why would you need a splitter - This cable is 25 feet long and it worked great for my application. All I used it for was to hook my laptop up to my TV. I would think a splitter might degrade the signal strength a little. There are longer cables if you need them. Look into the specifications of the splitter you intend to use for more information about its limitations. Good Luck

A splitter is a splitter. It should work with any coax cable. The only difference with this one is that it has a green DirecTv label on it.

You can certainly attach the antenna's output cable to a splitter and then attach the two TVs to the splitter. But since each TV will only be receiving half of the signal, the real question will be whether or not the signal strength for each TV will be adequate. Presumably, the amplifier that comes with this antenna would help out immensely in this regard.

This splitter can not do what you're attempting; this splitter is in the opposite direction. It will take one input and split it into two outputs. What you need is an HDMI switcher box (i.e. multiple inputs to one output). Hope this helps.
