ChannelPlus Multi-switch

The H424 satellite multi-switch connects up to four

satellite receivers to a dual LNB dish. The multi-switch locks one LNB to receive right hand polarized signals and

Satellite and antenna distribution

Up to four

satellite receivers

The highest performance method of distributing satellite and antenna (or CATV) signals is to keep them separate. Run a second coax cable to each room that will have a satellite receiver.

Adding a second multi-switch expands the system to six receivers. Adding a third multi-switch allows the use of up to eight satellite receivers. Do not cascade multi-switches more than 2 ‘layers’ deep.

Diplexer	Diplexers allow you to combine satellite
	and antenna (or CATV) signals on a
	single coax. Combining these signals
	sometimes creates new problems: The
Single coax	diplexer will reduce the signal strengths,
	increasing the chance of noisy pictures.
	Coupling the two also invites
	interference. We recommend only
	using diplexers when you cannot run a
Diplexer	second coax.
