Maximize your set up with a 22KHz switch

With so many different switches on the market today it can get confusing for a lot of people entering this hobby. One switch that always gets left behind is the 22 KHz switch. This switch has many uses and can be integrated into complex set ups. The 22 KHz switch can replace a Diseqc switch (Diagram 1) or can be used to multiply the existing ports on your Diseqc switch (Diagram 2).






This diagram shows a 22 KHz switch taking the place of a Diseqc Switch. 2 Satellites to 1 Receiver. Only works with Standard LNB not Universal.




This diagram shows a 4x1 Diseqc switch being converted to a 5 x1 Diseqc switch using a 22 KHz switch.

The Satellte Diplexer: A Semless Solution

Q :I Just purchased an FTA receiver and I will like to stay with my local cable network/antenna service?

A: The Satellite Diplexer: A Seamless Solution! Satellite programming may not offer local network or independent TV channels in your particular area. Fact of the matter, there is a large portion of rural America that is not covered. The solution is actually quite simple: capture those signals with either an off-air (uhf/vhf) antenna or cable TV feed and add them to your channel line-up.

You can run two lines: one line from your satellite dish and the other line from your local channel source OR you can use two signal diplexers and run both signals down ONE coaxial cable line SIMULTANEOUSLY (Diagram 1). One diplexer is used outside to combine the two separate signals (one signal from the satellite dish and another signal from either an off-air TV antenna or cable TV feed). A second diplexer is used inside to separate the combined signals before they enter your satellite receiver (Diagram 3). Satellite diplexers eliminate the need for extra wiring thereby reducing the cost of labor and installation materials necessary to run two coaxial lines.
