after
Multiswitch Configuration (Multiswitch on the Roof)
When the multiswitch is located on the roof (either integrated in the satellite dish
or externally mounted), the SIRIUS signal and satellite TV signal from the output
of the multiswitch are combined on one common cable. The combined signal is
carried from the roof all the way into the room inside the home where the SIRIUS
radio and satellite TV receiver/tuner are located, where 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.
When installing the Combiner and Splitter after the multiswitch, you will have to
determine which satellite TV cable from the multiswitch feeds the room where
you want to locate your SIRIUS radio.
The following illustration shows the installation of the Combiner/Splitter after the
multiswitch on the roof.
