Help Me Solve A Directv/Multiswitch Problem.
Ok here goes. Now this is what I have to deal with. There is a 5LNB Dish with 3 RG6 cables being used going direct to 2 receivers. One has both tuners connected and the other only one.
The fourth RG6 cable has been run to a utility closet. From that closet 2 RG6 cables are run to 2 different rooms.
Now the main question..... How can I get 2 separate feeds out of the one RG6 coming from 5LNB dish?

You don't have an external switch at all? The best setup would be to run all 4 to a multiswitch and then out to the various receivers from there. Standard switches have something like 8 outputs right now, plenty for you. I'm not sure if you can easily turn 1 into 2, you didn't used to be able to without dropping lots of cash on stackers.
