Before Multiswitch Configuration
This configuration is only used when the multiswitch is not located on the roof. In this configuration the SIRIUS signal and the satellite TV signal are combined on one common cable on the roof. The combined signal is then carried from the roof to the multiswitch where the signal is split back into separate signals before the multiswitch. The benefit of the SIRIUS Combiner/Splitter in this installation is avoiding having to run an additional cable for the SIRIUS radio from the roof to the interior of the home.
The following illustration shows the installation of the Combiner/Splitter before the multiswitch.
