Satellite Receiver Hookup

[jqrjr]

Tom,

Go to Radio shack get a switch box that can handle multiple
inputs/outputs.


Inputs to switch box from each source (Satellite,Cable,over air dish)
would be as if they were going to tv. Instead they will go out by
coax to switch box. Outputs will go to each set or vcr from the box,
you can use (in most cases) the old coax wiring. The switch box
allows you to switch on each set between feeds. Mine has several
buttons for each appliance (tv or vcr) to choose between the sources
(satellite, cable, over the air dish). This is very useful if
signifigant other want to watch Wheel of Fortune and you want to
watch the Playboy channel.
