Hi,

I am trying to setup a multi room system for freesat but I am running into issues with usig a one in three out and one in six out splitter as the signal is getting degraded or even lost altogether. I am anticipatping I need to use some sort of booster/boosters to improve the signal but I am not sure how to achieve this and what extra equipment would resolve the issue. I am using a 8 connection LNB with one or two of those feeds connecting to those splitters already mentioned. Can anyone please point me in the right direction on how I can get this working If at all.

Thank you

Roy
 
Using Splitters is not appropriate as each receiver sends polarisation and band switching signals to the LNB, correlating to the parameters of the channel(s) selected. By inserting a Splitter, conflicts are created.
 
How many TV points in total do you want to have Freesat ?

Thank you for your reply. Well we have the 8 lnb 5 go direct to satellite receivers two are connected to 1 in 2, out splitters connecting to 2 satellite receivers and the last is a 1 in 6 out splitter presently connecting to 4 satellite receivers. Total would be 12?

What make/model are the receivers that are connected to the splitters? If they support SCR a fairly cheap dCSS-422 switch could be used.
 
You will need something like this....

Multiswitch MS5/12PIU-5 (P.146-UP) | EMP-Centauri

Product description: 5in/12out standalone multiswitch for distribution of 4 SAT IF signals including terrestrial for up to 12 users Related downloads: Product datasheet Instruction Manual

Most of them are humax receivers one old sky box to work with Alexa TV.

The old Sky box could be problematic with a dCSS-422. The Humax boxes should work though. Would need four feeds from the octo LNB. Two legacy outputs & two SCR outputs which can be split are provided from the switch.

So are you suggesting one of these?

Unitron dCSS-422 Two Way Sky Q dSCR and Legacy Switch WITH POWER SUPPLY | eBay

would that also need a multi switch? Sorry but a bit of a novice on this stuff.

Yes that's what I was talking about. Think I paid less than £10 for one on eBay. One with a power supply would be handy. I have an old Humax Freesat box here, I'll check if it works with the dCSS-422 tomorrow. No additional multiswitch would be required if you can get 4 feeds from the LNB to it.
 
Humax Foxsat HD works with the Unitron dCSS-422 when changed to SCD mode in the hidden menu.
 
Thank you that is really helpful, managed to secure a dCSS-422 for £20 but is also has the power supply and was advertised as opened never used. Any chance I’d a sket show the conn I need?

Roy.
 
Not sure what happened there
Any chance of a sketch showing the connections I need?

I may have misunderstood but I counted 13 receivers in post #4 :confused:

Receivers 6 to 13 would need to be in SCR mode. Receivers connected to the same output of the Unitron will have to use a UB frequency that is different to other receivers on the same output.

Sorry my mistake drop the second 1in two out splitter should now be 11. To hot to think straight.
