Sirius Satellite Radio SR-100C Cable Length, Multiswitches, Signal Splitters, DishPro Adapters

DIRECTV with Three LNBFs with External Multiswitch

If your configuration uses three LNBFs, and has a multiswitch, the multiswitch
must be externally powered to be compatible with the
SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter. Externally powered
means that the multiswitch is connected to an AC outlet.	LNBFs
Examine your multiswitch to determine if it is connected
to an AC outlet. There should also be a label on the
multiswitch which specifies the external power
requirements, if it is externally powered. If the multiswitch is
not externally powered, your configuration will not work with
the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter.

DIRECTV with Three LNBFs with Co-Located Multiswitch

If your configuration uses three LNBFs which have a multiswitch co-located with the LNBFs at the satellite dish, it is not compatible with the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter.

Cable Length

When the SIRIUS and DBS signals are combined together in one RG-6 cable, the maximum length of the cable should not exceed 200 feet.

Multiswitches, Signal Splitters, DishPro Adapters

If your satellite TV configuration is using multiswitches, signal splitters, DishPro adapters (DISH Network), or other device, all these devices will prevent the SIRIUS signal from passing through them, therefore the SIRIUS signal cannot be combined with the satellite TV signal when passing through these devices. Instead, the SIRIUS signal and satellite TV signal have to be both combined and split either before or after these devices.

Stated in the simplest terms, between the SIRIUS/DBS Combiner and the SIRIUS/ DBS Splitter, there can only be an uninterrupted length of RG-6 cable.
