Hi there
We have one TV with a quad LNB FTA Satellite dish. We're thinking of getting a small TV in another room and also want to make use of the FTA. So normal solutio would be get another satellite receiver and hook it up to one of the LNB ports. So all that's fine.
The problem is...the cabling. We already have the cable sorted and were wondering...rather than connecting a second cable to the LNB, can we split it with a coaxial cable splitterl...and then connect one side to one receiver and the other to another receiver - both the same location. Then we connect a signal transmitter to one receiver and one TV and then we can have different channels on each TV. It would mean we wouldn't have to drill any more holes for routing cables. So the questions are:
Is it possible to split the cable successfully and connect to two different satellite receivers? (kind of curious as why are there quad LNBs if you can) and
secondly has anyone used a signal transmitter successfully with a satellite receiver?
Thanks!
