Currently attempting an amateur installation of a 5 tv FTA system, and would appreciate advice on a particular problem.
Have connected 3 tv sets so far , using a Titanium Octo Lnb, and running the cables from the dish and Terrestrial UHF aerial to a Triax tv / sat combiner, a single cable to each room, and a diplexer wall socket feeding each tv set.
Signal in the 90% range, and fabulous reception when signal comes through.
Problem is that I need to switch on 2 receivers before the satellite signal comes through to either - ie. it appears that there is insufficient DC power from one receiver to " boot " the Lnb. Have tested a direct feed from the Lnb to the receiver and no problem, but would mean doubling all cables throughout the house ( 1 Satellite, one Terrestrial )
Any advice gratefully received.
