How to Install a Second Viewsat Receiver

Viewsat receivers work with your satellite equipment to link up to the free television channels that are broadcast over the airwaves in an unencrypted signal. You must install multiple receivers to watch the FTA channels on two different TVs. Install a multi-switch in between your satellite and your receivers to spread the signal throughout your house or business. Your satellite dish must feature dual or multiple LNBs to support multiple receivers on your system.

Things You'll Need

• Multiswitch
• Coaxial cables
• Component cable

Instructions

1. Attach one end of a coaxial cable from the LNB on the dish to one of the "To DISH" jacks on the multi-switch.

2. Fasten another coaxial cable from an open LNB port to one of the remaining "To Dish" jacks on the multi-switch.

3. Connect another coaxial cable to one of the "To Receiver" jacks on the switch. Attach the other end of the cable to one of the Viewsat receiver's "Satellite IN" jack on the rear panel.

4. Fasten one end of the coaxial cable to an open "To Receiver" jack on the switch, and connect the other end to the "Satellite IN" jack on the second Viewsat receiver.

5. Insert one end of the component cables to the "Video+Audio OUT" ports on the second receiver and connect the other end to the "Video+Audio IN" ports on the TV's input panel.
