How to Use a Multiswitch
Share your satellite service and outdoor antenna broadcast with multiple satellite receivers. With a multiswitch, you can split your satellite signal into multiple channels to facilitate multiple receivers. With a multiswitch, you can view different channels on different receivers--unlike standard splitters which cannot facilitate signals from multiple receivers.

Attach an antenna to the multiswitch via the "Local" coax port. Run piece of coax cable from the Local port to the "Coax Out" or "TV" coax port on your outdoor antenna. Attach a piece of coax cable to the first of the sequentially numbered "Out" ports on the satellite multiswitch--attach the opposite end of the cable to the "In/Out" coax port on your diplexer.
Attach a piece of coax cable to the "Sat" port on your diplexer, and then connect the opposite end of the coax cable to the "Sat In" port on the back of your satellite receiver.
Attach a piece of coax to the "Ant" port on the diplexer, and then attach the opposite end of the cable to the "Ant In" port on the back of your satellite receiver. -
