Hello to all
I have a small question, I want to connect the signal from my sat receivers outputs to a TV system so I can see the selected channels in the receiver in other TV's.
I am attaching the schema that i want to use or what i intend to do, but i can't find a way to combine the outputs in a input cable that will be after splitte into 3 cables to TVs.

the receivers are connected to the satellite with a quad LNB so they are independent.
could someone help me with this quest?

Thank you to all in advance.

Akasha.
 
Hi, you could use a 3 way splitter/combiner, but will lose a bit of signal in the process, probably around 7db, so you may have to use a small four way amplifier to distribute to the other TVs. Will you be sending the off air UHF channels around the system as well?
 
Thanks for the answer.
if possible i also would like to send the UHF channels.
and where can i find the splitter combniner? i can only find the splitters.
Thanks
 
Splitters will usually work as combiners, use a good quality "F" type splitter/combiner, or better still use a loftbox with multiple UHF inputs. You could even contemplate looping the UHF signal through the satellite receivers and then into an amp, but this may be problematic with potential interference.

You will of course need to adjust the rf modulators of the satellite receivers so that they don't clash with each other, nor clash with the off air signals.
 
You can use a splitter [as shown in attached] in reverse, but as mentioned, you need to account for the small signal loss, usually around 2 - 3dB for a combiner configuration. If you input the UHF aerial feed into one of the receiver RF modulators, the signal will pass onto an amplifier.

Thank you,
Ans can i splitte the signal again into 3 cables?
could you make a small schema with the options?
thanks again
 
Well firstly, are the satellite receivers in the same spot and where doe the other feed cables terminate, as this will make a difference to the combination/distribution options.

You can use a 4 way distribution amplifier to feed the three TVs.
 
2 of the receiver are located in the same spot and the other one in another spot, but all the cables are terminating in the same spot.
 
If the satellite receivers have RF inputs and pass this through to the RF output (adding the receivers RF modulated output) then you have no need for the combiner merely "daisy chain" the RF cables - i.e terrestrial aerial to 1st receiver RF input then that receivers output to the next receivers input, then the second receivers output to the third receivers input and then that receivers output to your distribution system/splitter. No need for a combiner.

Daisy chaining three receivers with addition to adding off air signals can be noisy though; although in practice it does work.


Whichever way, care has to be taken to allowing sufficient spacing between RF output and off air analogue / DVB channels, N+-1, 5 and 9.
 
Good answers.

my receivers have
  • 2 x IEC169-24F, (Sat in/ut)
  • 1 x IEC169-2, (DVB-T in)
  • 1 x IEC169-2, (DVB-T ut)
  • which one will be the RF signal out.?
I am sorry but iam new with this.

I also found this amplifier

• range : 86 - 862 MHz
• Returvej: 5 - 65 MHz
• amplification: 20 dB
• Variabel amplification: 0 - 18 dB (G.C.)
• power: 230 V, 50 Hz

thank you for all help
