Dishnetwork as part of a structured cabling network |
|
|
How can I connect two dual LNBs and then have 17 point in a structured
cable network which allow me to connect recievers at any of the 17
points and have access to all channels. What type of switches and
where can I source them? |

You might take a look at www.smarthome.com. They have a nice paper
catalog.

You would need at a minimum a 4x18 multiswitch

The only thing you can do is cable the system amd then call Dish. Dish |
Network stuff is proprietary.

Proprietary to whom?
STV is simple. |

interested:

To EchoStar.
Yes, DBS is simple, and if it were just a matter of one dish feeding
several outlets a regular multiswitch would do (in this case, probably a
dual amplifier and 2 or 3 multiswitches. The largest I've seen is 2x16.
If he needs terrestrial as well as DBS, he would need a couple of 3x8s
and a 3x4. Better yet would be to use a Spaun SBK 3203NF in conjunction
with 3 SMK 2261F multiswitches.). But where he's looking at 2
satellites, that's a different story.
Unlike DTV (DirecTV), where everybody and their dog makes equipment
(stacking equipment, receivers, multiswitches)(use a Holland or Terk 5x8
multiswitch to feed a couple of Hughes, an RCA, a Philips, a Sony and 3
DirecTV receivers) that makes the system work and you can mix-and-match
all you want, with Dish Network you have to use Dish Network (EchoStar)
equipment. Again that's for multi-sat systems.
That is THE reason I won't do a Dish Network system. I don't like being
forced to use a particular manufacturer.
I don't know about the "Boss" thing.
CIAO!
