How to Install a Multiswitch With Primestar Dish
In 1999, the Hughes Electronic Corp. purchased Primestar and DirecTV acquired all the Primestar customers. A Primestar dish can still be used to receive DirecTV with the use of a DirecTV LNB (Low Noise Blocker) attached to the dish. Installing a multiswitch to a Primestar dish will allow you to combine the information coming from the LNB and send it to multiple receivers connected to televisions in your house. Installing a multiswitch to your Primestar dish is the same as installing a multiswitch to a DirecTV dish.
