Essential Info

Feed up to eight individual satellite TV receivers from one (or two) satellite dishes with the 5x8 HDTV Multi-Switch video distributor. Designed to work with HDTV or standard receivers alike, this multi-switch is ideal for home entertainment enthusiasts who have standard systems today, but plan to upgrade to an HDTV system sometime in the future. Potential applications include everything from large homes with many TVs to multi-tenant housing where it's not practical to install more than one dish.

  • More Info


    Distributes Signals from One or Two Satellite Dishes
    The 5x8 HDTV Multi-Switch distributes signals from up to two dual-LNB satellite dishes, or a single dish with two dual LNBs attached. For example if you're a DIRECTV subscriber who gets signals from the 110° or 119° satellites — DIRECTV HDTV, DIRECTV PARA TODOS™, or local network broadcasts in such markets as Grand Rapids, Providence, Las Vegas, etc. — these multi-switches will be able to deliver all those channels to multiple satellite receivers.

    Sends Multiple Signals Over One Cable
    The multi-switches are equipped with four LNB inputs (two for each LNB on your dish), a fifth input for cable and/or antenna signals, and 8 outputs. And because it can combine cable or antenna signals with satellite signals, your TVs can receive local off-air and satellite channels over a single run of coaxial cable, simplifying installation. Note: For every receiver using cable or antenna channels, you'll need a diplexer to separate the signals (diplexers sold separately).

    Select satellite signal by 14V/18V and 0/22kHz tone provided by receivers. Max 600mA DC pass to LNB as operational power. Two-year manufacturer's warranty. 24-Volt DC 600ma power adapter supplied.

    Reviews

    "This was exactly what I needed. Excellent quality. Price was considerably less than local suppliers. Thanks." - HAROLD G - RINGGOLD, VA
    "Great device. Don't buy additional 22khz tone generators - they are already included (Smarthome needs to change the 'What's included' description). If you have more than 2 cables coming from your dish, like 4, then you need to have two short coax cables (Smarthome gives parts for do-it-yourself, but Radio Shack sells 1 ft pre-made cables) and 2 male-male connectors. This is to add the 22khz tone generators. The tone generators have a male end to the dish and a female end to the distibutor. The female end is unusual - it looks at first like you can connect directly to the distributor, but you can't connect both because of space (and the manual says to do so violates the warranty)." - Ken - Cincinnati
