A DirecTV multi switch is a device that enables DirecTV subscribers to send satellite television information to more than two television sets. However, multi switches are only compatible with dual LNB DirecTV dishes, and not any of the single LNB models. You may be a little confused as to how a dual LNB dish can send television content to more than two displays--here's how the process works. A multi switch will permanently tune one of the LNBs to look at even-numbered transponders, and the other to the odd-numbered transponders. When someone is watching TV and changes channels coming in from one LNB to the other, the switch acts as the middleman. It actually intercepts the signal coming from the receiver, and switches to the proper LNB as needed. This switch knows which one is which based on the voltage that the receiver sends, along with a 22 kHz tone. If you have an antenna or cable line that you use in addition to your satellite dish, many multi switches also allow you to feed in the signal through the multi switch. Once the antenna cable is connected to the multi switch, for example, one television set can be sent information from both the satellite dish and the antenna through a single cable. For reducing clutter and cabling issues, a multi switch is an ideal piece of equipment. If you're looking for a DirecTV multiswitch switch, you can order a 3x4 model directly from Bestway Satellite. We offer multiswitch switches, which will make it possible for you to watch satellite (plus antenna or cable) television programming on multiple television sets. While this requires additional receivers at each set, the price of a brand new multiswitch switch at Bestway Satellite is actually quite inexpensive, making the upgrading process a little easier on your wallet.
