I have 3 receivers already installed. 1 quad lnb. 1 free slot on my multiswitch on the physical dish. No HD receivers.
The question is...... can I not just take the feed coax in the back of my receiver out , use a multiswitch or splitter to split the signal from there and install a 4th receiver??
I have done this with bell many times but there seems to be a conflicting perception about this type of splitting when it comes to Shaw Systems.
an installer said no but when speaking with Tech at Shaw he says theoretically it could work as long as I am not using a stacked system of which I am not. Once I do it see if both channel 299 and 301 work as one is horizontal and the other vertical with their respective voltages of 13v & 18V
The reason is I cannot go back to the original multiswich installed on the dish itself because the wiring is all underground then up a 22' tower.
Much easier to from one receiver to the next.
Thanks
