After Multiswitch Configuration (Multiswitch Inside the Home)
When the multiswitch is located inside the home, a cable from the SIRIUS anten- na needs to be installed and run to the vicinity of the multiswitch inside the home. There the SIRIUS signal and satellite TV signal from the output of the multiswitch are combined on one common cable. The combined signal is carried all the way into the room 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 through 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 inside the home.
