Electronics and satellite switches

Satellite switches need to be used whenever satellite owners want to connect more than two satellite receivers to a single satellite dish with dual-LNB, or when owners connect multiple satellite dishes to multiple satellite receivers.

Switches will serve to route and guide the satellite signal to the appropriate receivers in the house. Since there are so many types of switches out there, it's hard to know how to get started. We've decided to list a few common switches (as well as some other devices) below so you can familiarize yourself with the terminology.

Side note: diplexers are devices that allow the combined satellite and antenna signals to be separated.

• 4-Channel Switch - These are made to work most all DBS, DSS and DVB systems. Four different receivers can display different satellite channels.
• 8-Channel Switch - These are made to work most all DBS, DSS and DVB systems. Eight different receivers can display different satellite channels.
• Switches that hook up 4 receivers to 2 satellite dishes where each dish is pointed at a different satellite.
• Switches that hook up 8 receivers to 2 satellite dishes where each dish is pointed at a different satellite.
• Dish Network DP34 Switch - This switch hooks up four Dish Network receivers to three satellite dishes.
• Dish Network DP21 Switch - This switch hooks up two inputs (for up to three orbital satellite locations) to one satellite receiver.
• Dish Network Legacy SW21 Switch - This device hooks up two inputs (up to three orbital satellite locations) to one receiver, and combines two dual-LNBF's into one coaxial line. This switch can be use for a single or dual-dish Dish Network system, and it permits voltage switching between the two satellite dishes.
• 22kHz Switch - this is a power passing, 22 kHz switch that is used to operate 2 LNBs.
• Diplexers - This device can either separate or combine satellite signals and TV antenna signals from or onto a single feed coaxial line.
• 4-way splitters - 5 to 2050 MHz
• 2-way splitters - 5 to 2050 MHz
• In-Line Amplifier - This device compensates for long runs and splitters by amplifying the signal.
• Surge Protectors - This device protects your home electronic equipment from power surges.
• RCA A/B Switch - This device allows you to switch between a cable and VCR input to your television set.

You can get free satellite equipment (a free satellite dish and up to 5 free receivers) when you start new Direct TV or Dish Network service.
