After Multiswitch Configuration (Multiswitch on the Roof)
When the multiswitch is located on the roof (either integrated in the satellite dish or externally mounted), the SIRIUS signal and satellite TV signal from the output of the multiswitch are combined on one common cable. The combined signal is carried from the roof all the way into the room inside the home where the SIRIUS radio and satellite TV receiver/tuner are located, where the signals are then split and connected to each device. The benefit of the SIRIUS Combiner/Splitter in this scenario is avoiding having to run an additional cable for the SIRIUS radio from the roof all the way into a room in the interior of the home.
When installing the Combiner and Splitter after the multiswitch, you will have to determine which satellite TV cable from the multiswitch feeds the room where you want to locate your SIRIUS radio.
The following illustration shows the installation of the Combiner/Splitter after the multiswitch on the roof.
