It will work. Another way is to use av splitter.
Alright Sir , thank you so much , imagine a DSTV attendant asked me to get moderator or so from my installer and after i called my installer he said it cost #5,000. which one is AV splitter and how much is it?

If I understand him well he has more than one lnb on a disecq which he wants to share and it is not possible to my understanding. Using a splinter will enable him to share one lnb per splitter and the boxes must be on the same tp/polarization when viewing if not it will not work, I stand to be corrected.

pryncipal:
Yes it is possible.
First get a Eurobox spliter, connect your lnb cable to the port mark in, then connect your decoder a to one of the port marked out , Finally the other decoder to the second port also marked out, In the event of Diseqc switch take the second cable to the port of your Diseqc switch of the other decoder if you are running a multiple lnbs You can chart me up if you encounter any issues.
Satellite TV Technology / How Can I Combine 6 Different Decoders For A Hotel by jtownf: 8:58pm On Oct 16, 2018
I am trying to earn a living from a satellite installations but I'm faced with a challenge. It is about a hotel that requires multiple channels view by its guest.

They have 6 different decoders with coaxial cable available with Disec 1.2, 8 way splitter and an acad amplifier.

Please any suggestions ?

Gurus in the house, am trying to connect my two TVs with a trends TV Decoder, but it's not working. I'm getting about 11 channels (mbc, bbc, etc), which i think am not suppose to and there are all showing scrambled. What can i do to solve this problem. It's the latest trends TV Decoder and it no place for RF out or in.... Am only seeing DVB T2, DVB C, and DVB S2 as ports. The incoming antenna is connected to DVB T2

Satellite TV Technology / Re: How To use Pay Tv Decoder to distribute Channels To Your Compound Neighbors by DJCentiz: 11:55am On Jul 14, 2018
Hello guys...
I have just joined this discussion, but i have questions as a youg enterprenuer.
It goes this way...
Can we assume, the more decoders or the number of decoders, determine the number of channels to be distributed?
Thanks, as i await your response.


Everfrank:

1. Signal is transmitted via rf so decoders must have rf out port. A modulator must be used for decoders without rf out port.
2. If you can afford use a modulator per decoder for all the decoders for better video quality. A modulator converts AV video into rf video.
3. Take video with coaxial cable from rf out port, or from modulator, of each decoder to a combiner. A good splitter used in reverse will do. Assuming you have 16 decoders to shoot 16 channels you can use 5 pieces of new 4-way splitters. Using coaxial cable:
- connect one splitter to the signal-in of your mixing booster in reverse order. A 42db alcad booster or a 20db telavees booster will do.
-then connect your four remaining splitters to the four points on the first splitter also in reverse order. That will give you 4×4=16 points where you'll fix(mix) your signal inputs from 16 decoders, or from modulators as the case may be.
Mixing of decoders is a task that requires patience and time. It's easier if you are using modulators. Those akewu astel modulators of 4k each will do just fine.
Below mixing guideline is without modulator.
- get a good tv with functioning remote control preferably LG. LG displays the number of each rf channel on the screen for easy mixing.
- connect one coaxial cable line from your mixing booster output to the rf in at the back of your nearby tv- with a tv plug.
- your decoders are to be mixed in one after the other. On the TV rf system the channels start from 21 up.
You'll need a female tv plug for each decoder. Buy the iron type. A pack of f-connectors and one good AV wire. Mixing is after all your 16 decoders are functional with their signals and are showing your desired channels.
1. Power on your first decoder and connect it to the TV using the AV wire.
2. With the decoder remote press menu and enter system setting. Scroll down and select UHF and change the number to 21. Save and exit.
3. Change the tv input from AV to RF.
4. Use d tv remote and enter menu of then setting and search the tv. If you are very conversant with searching tvs then use manual search as its flexible and faster for mixing work. Otherwise select auto search and wait.
4. After searching then your first decoder will appear on the TV as channel one(with uhf number 21).
5. Then check the video for clarity. You may need to adjust the gain of your booster to get optimum video quality.
6. After your channel one is satisfactorily clear then you repeat step 1 to 4 for each decoder to mixed them.
7. The catch here is that each decoder must be on different uhf channel. As channel 21 is your first decoder put the second one at 23, the third one at 25, the fourth one at 27, the fifth one at 29 and so on. The rule is as you start with an odd number then use odd numbers for all decoders. Ditto for even numbers. This gives a gap of one number between d decoders to prevent jamming and interference.
You'll have to be patient as some decoder will outshine others. This is because you are using assorted decoders with different clarity strength. It's better to place decoders with the sharpest video last and vice versa.
After all your decoders are mixed harmoniously then you shoot your signal out. It can reach 100 meters then boost it and continue.

There will be more hints for anybody that has reached this stage. Just ask questions.

Please what about the settings on the decoder?
pryncipal:
For you to connect two diseqc switchs you will need a 22k switch (splitter), that will enable you to combine both switchs, or an 8 way diseqc switch is another option.

Save your money, no need to buy any box that can spoil tomorrow, just get yourself 3 av splitters, 6 av heads buy 2 in 1 cable, run it and have better pictures than through RF. AV splitter is about #100 each, AV heads #20 each and the cable should be 3x of the yards that will take you to the room. It's cheaper and more durable and you can split for more rooms if you want.

Chinedu7:

Bros, your best option is still through RF but you must make sure that the DVD and Startime have RF output, if they do then you are close. Now visit the menu of the decoders and the DVD look for RF output channel of all the boxes, select numbers that are reasonably far from the other. Like no1 - 10, no2 - 15, no3 - 20, this is just to avoid clash. Of course before selecting the channel numbers you should first connect the 3 RFs in one 4-in-1 or 8-in-1 combiner, anyone based on number of channels you wish to combine. Now, for clearer pictures you may need RF amplifier to boost the signal. Once this is done, now you need splitter to split into the rooms of your choice and auto-search the 10 televisions. Note: you can use 16-in-1 or 4-in-1 splitter multiple times.

@paulowas.
Measat @ 91.5°E is not receivable in Nigeria (Lagos precisely).
Reason: Below the Horizon.
How?
For those in Lagos for example, Eutelsat 3B @ 3.0°E approximately,is the Southernmost satellite.
That is to say ,Eutelsat 3B is at the center of the Clarke Belt.
Elevation for this Satellite = 82.3° (approx.)
Therefore for those in Lagos it is technically impossible to receive satellites located below 83.0°E (Insat 4A) orbital position.
Measat 3/3a/3b @ 91.5°E is at the elevation of -7.0° (approx.) and therefore below the Horizon.

For Cccam Server Setup for Alpha Box X4
Press MENU and navigate to SETTINGS.
Press 2778 on the RCU to pop up Access Control Menu.
Go to Cccam Client Setup and press OK.
Go to edit cccam.cfg and press OK.
Enter the Cccam account details and press OK.
EXIT and SAVE.

is there any need to use 50db rf booster after the 2nd step or the 3 step will serve without having a booster after the combiner. Will 20db booster work well after 100m
