sv elite loop hookup (re manual)

[cher]

Has anyone tried the loop hookup as shown in the sv elite manual....the manual is vague as to what this will accomplish.

Thanks in advance for any and all replies

i think it depends on your dish setup.

it will mirror the channels on tuner one to tuner two but run them as seperate tuners but must have connection type to loop thru and use channel copy under installation to transfer channels from 1 to 2

i tried the loop did not work good for me so i ran a seperate cable for each and now it works fantastic

How would you go about it. I see that in theory it will work but how would you go about the settings? or do you have to use the same receiver on the other end?

you can get a multiswitch 4x4 and then run 4 cables inside your house if you have dishpro lnbs then you can use a dp34 if you have legacy you can use sw44 lots of combinations most of the multi swuitches are about 30-40 bucks and you can get up to 8 cables in the house to hok up to several recievers

Where do you find this choice "loop through". I don't see that anywhere.

if you look at the manual it show a picture with lines to where to put cables

lnb1 with the cable then below that you will see a loop 1 to tuner 2 or lnb 2 in and it is looped

Oh I see, but if you have the dual tuner hooked up from a separator to your SV-360 then this is impossible.

well with a seperator it probably work but you will probably only get vertical or hor tp freq never tried it

Meh, I would rather just run a new dish or install another switch and get the real deal. Thanks
