Satellite inline amplifier intended for use where a long cable run is required. This amplifier will boost the weak signal by 20dB. Works with C and KU band. Do not fit directly at LNB, best to use half way along a long cable run.
Ideal for splitting your satellite signal to multiple receivers from a single dish. Keep in mind that when splitting a satellite signal, both receivers must be on the same polarity channels or only have one receiver switched on at any one time.. For example, it is fine to split the signal for Optus Aurora on two receivers as Optus Aurora's channels are all on vertical polarity. You cannot use a splitter for Optus Aurora and Austar at the same time as Foxtel has channels that are on Horizontal polarity (18V) and Aurora is on vertical (13V). This would mean that if both boxes were on at the same time, 18V would override the 13V signal and Aurora would lose signal.
If you want to run two decoders at the same time, use a twin output dual polarity LNB (use the Sharp twin output LNB) or only have one box turned on at a time.

Use a 2 way DiSEqC switch when you want to run two dishes using a single satellite decoder (or two LNB's on a single dish). A diseqc switch can be used for switching between most types of LNB. So, you could have a dish pointed to Optus C1 for the Aurora channels and another pointed to Intelsat8 for the SelecTV channels. See the 4 way DiSEqC switch info below.
Most decoders these days support DiSEqC switching. By enabling this feature within the decoders menu settings, a DiSEqC switch can be used. This 4 port version will enable you to connect up to 4 separate dishes pointing to different satellites. For example, when you enter the DISH SETTINGS screen on a Strong decoder, you can enable DiSEqC 1.0 and commit the satellite name to either 1, 2, 3 or 4. So, Optus C1 could be on switch port 1, Optus D1 on port 2, Optus D2 on port 3 and Intelsat8 on port 4. When you have aligned each dish, connect them to the switch and scan the channels. As you change channels, the switch will electronically change to the correct satellite instantly and automatically.
Connect up to 4 dishes/LNB's to a single satellite decoder with this DiSEqC switch. Comes in a weatherproof housing designed to be installed on the dish mast. Suitable for C band and KU band (small and large dishes). Most satellite decoders support DiSEqC switching.
SATELLITE AND TERRESTRIAL ANTENNA DIPLEXER (COMBINER)
A diplexer is used for combining (and separating) satellite and terrestrial (antenna) signals. Typically you would use one diplexer at the satellite dish and antenna on the roof to combine the signals together. These combined signals travel down a single coaxial cable to the wall socket where a second diplexer is used to separate the signals and voltage to 2 separate cables. One for satellite and the other for the antenna. Very useful when it is near impossible to run a second cable for the satellite dish. Simply share the antenna cable for both.
