ChannelPlus Multi-switch

The H424 satellite multi-switch connects up to four

satellite receivers to a dual LNB dish. The

multi-switch locks one LNB to receive

right hand polarized signals and

the other LNB to receive

left hand polarized
signals. The individual
satellite receivers may

The highest performance method
of distributing satellite and
antenna (or CATV) signals is to
keep them separate. Run a second
coax cable to each room that will
have a satellite receiver.

Adding a second multi-switch expands the system to six receivers. Adding
a third multi-switch allows the use of up to eight satellite receivers. Do not
cascade multi-switches more than 2 ‘layers’ deep.

Diplexer

Single coax

Diplexer

Diplexers allow you to combine satellite
and antenna (or CATV) signals on a
single coax. Combining these signals
sometimes creates new problems: The
diplexer will reduce the signal strengths,
increasing the chance of noisy pictures.
Coupling the two also invites
interference. We recommend only
using diplexers when you cannot run a
second coax.
