B3V+ 2 FTA to one TV

[5440]

Currently have B3V sub from 82/91 to SW21 to Rx.

4x1 DiSEQC connected to second dual LNB ports of B3V dish and 110/119 on another dish. Two RG6 cables coming off roof. Setup works fine.

Bought a Limesat and would like to have the NFHD going for whatever HD is offered. This is to all feed one TV.

Is this setup possible? What would be required? I would consider a simple switch (instead of manually swapping the RG6 to the FTA's). Could a simple splitter be used at the Rx's as I "should" have one of the FTA's turned off if watching the other, or would it work fine with power FTA's powered on?

Splitters wont work with FTA receivers, you need a 4X4 switch (4 inputs to 4 outputs) look threw our switch section for setup info on this.

And switching coaxes with receivers on will damage any switch.

no it won't work anymore. i have a bev sub and 110/119 and used to run them to a diseqc switch to the tv and befor the tv i added a A/B switch and connected "A" to fta receiver and "B" to sub. it worked fine for a year or so but then bev did a rev update and since then the bev receiver would not get a signal though the diseqc switch so i still use the a/b switch but when i want the bev sub i connect it directly from lnb to the a/b with a barrel connector and when i want fta i disconnect that and connect back to the diseqc switch. its a pain but the only solution as i cant run seperat lines to the tv.

you can do it with out any switches using the loop out and the antenna in ports.....

just have one on at a time.....lol

The only switch you would need to add is a 2-input A/V selector befor the TV..........

try this link for a 3 way A/B/C switch for connecting to a single tv:

I have enough inputs on the TV. I am looking for a switch setup that will allow two FTA boxes to on to basically share one RJ6 feed.

[doggy10]

a/b switch is the only way with one feed.

[Mavrick]

Each receiver needs it's own feed unless you use the Loop-out port, but using the Loop-out feature can have restrictions on what the second receiver can watch.

The proper way for this setup would be to add a 3x4 multiswitch on each Bell LNB(82 & 91). Use the SW21 to output to the Sub. Then use 2 4x1 DiSEqC switches on the 3x4s(82&91), 119, & 110 to output to the nfusionHD and the Limesat. You will need 3 cables - 1 for each receiver, however, you will not have any limitations with this setup.

Note*SW44 switches do NOT work with most FTA receivers, especially nfusion receivers.

Are you sure any HD open on BEEF wih NFHD?

So you had or going to have at least 3 recievers for 1 TV? What a waste? use 1 receiver for 1 TV, each 1 use for 1 place( could be like open porn for bath room).
