Home Signal Distribution Kit  Installation Guide

Simple 

Configuration (Single LNB, No Multiswitch)

A simple configuration without a multiswitch might look like the following illustra

-

tion. The SIRIUS signal and the satellite TV signal are combined into one and 

use the existing satellite TV cable run from the roof all the way into the room in-

side the home where the SIRIUS radio and satellite TV receiver are located. The 

signals are then split and connected to each device. The benefit of the SIRIUS 

Combiner/Splitter in this scenario is avoiding having to run an additional cable for 

the SIRIUS radio from the roof all the way into a room in the interior of the home.

The next diagram shows the same configuration. Note that in the common cable 

run between the Combiner and Splitter there are no devices such a splitter or 

DishPro Adapter. If a DishPro adapter is needed, it must be installed after the 

Splitter as shown.
