One coaxial cable 2 STB's ?? - ABA DSS

NeoiPhone · January 6th, 2009

As yuou can see in the image I have 2 stb's and only 1 coax cable coming from the roof. I tried to use a second coax cable from the roof but it wont fit due to many cables going down to diferent aparments. Is there a way to split the cable all ready in my apartment so i can power both stb's or I will have to sell one??

are you going to be using both stbs at the same time

NeoiPhone · January 6th, 2009

For most of the time I will be using just one!

you can attach a cable from the loop out to the other stb and as long as the first stb is off you can get all channels on second unit but if the first unit is on then you would have to watch channels on the same sat on both units

I tried that but even if I turn off the firts stb the other one always loss a sat. It look like one stb is not compatible with the other, does it makes scence??

try turning the first receiver off with remote and leave the rear switch on

This post is about the nfusion model but one of the mods also mentions that some of the receivers are not compatilble with the loop out u are trying to use.

place the viewsat in the line first.then loop out to the neosat.

Thanks for all your comments. This is what I did: As recommended by arboristman I place the viewsat ultra firts and then loop to the Neosat. Using one stb at a time works great but if for any reason i turn on both at the same time the viewsat reset the antenna settings. Now I just have to fin the way to bring the internet connection to the room where the Neosat is located now!

yeah,ipro's loop out never worked.very odd.but thats easy enough solution,for the few of us who run stbs like this.(that's an interesting bug with the viewsat-didn't know that,thanks)
enjoy.

you can get a wireless game adapter for your internet connection to the ipro.this way you wont have to run a long Ethernet cable.
