Sending the DSS ® Signal to
multiple TVs
The most important feature of the agile modulator is that it creates a
unique DSS
® television channel. This unique channel can be
combined with other TV channels on your antenna or cable system.
Combining the signals and distributing them to all the televisions in
your home lets you watch DSS
® programming or local programming
on any television connected to your system by simply changing
channels on the TV.
The simplified drawing at the right shows how cable or off-air signals
and the DSS
® output channel can be combined and routed through a
whole-house distribution system (sold separately). Although not shown
in detail, a whole-house distribution system consists of signal splitter/
combiners and amplifiers to boost both the DSS
® output channel and
off-air or cable channels.
Single TV Output
Although the agile modulator is designed for a whole-house
distribution system, you may still need to set the output channel even
if you are running a signal from the OUT TO TV jack to only one
television. The default setting is channel 14 (off-air) and 65 (cable). Try
to get a signal on these channels first; then go to Output Channel in
the Options menu to change the agile modulator setting.
