splitting bell express vu

Can a satellite cable be split using a normal splitter before the satellite box, then adding a second box so as to be able to watch 2 different programs in 2 different rooms?

You could use a special satellite splitter (called a multi-switch) to split the signal, coming from the dish BEFORE the box.

Also, there are some dual tuner satellite receivers for independent viewing in two rooms. You can watch two separate televisions with two different programs showing without the need for a receiver on each television.

Get a 1 gig splitter.

You can get them retail at Radio Shack


If you can shop a wholesaler you can get a decent one for 1/2 that price.

IDEAL makes a good splitter and can be found at most Home Depots. If you split off more than 3 lines you should consider a quality amplifer. Wholesale is about 2 bucks for a 10db one.

Doesn't bell give you up to 3 seperate feeds?

This is what you need.. and it is HD ready & will allow you to use cable as well (will allow you to watch different programs on up to 4 different receivers)

List price $79.99

If you just go with a splitter.. get one designed for use with satellite, rated for 2GHz

i have 18 receivers on my bev... they said the limit was 6 i believe, but i just keep adding 'em on and they don't say anything... i got my whole family running off my account and a small apartment building, too.

i use the multi-switch papi describes... works great for my hd pvr system

for all the other places i use a 6 way (that is amplified through the coaxial cable) at the apartment and the family units don't need any splitters, just use dual lnb's which i think they all are now...
