How many coaxial cables go to a satellite dish?

You could put 2 directional ones in, and combine their signals by using a splitter (yes, they work as 'combiners' too).

As long as you space them far enough apart they won't interfere with each other. Here is a great place to reference:

Most of your channels will be located around 322° and the second biggest group is at 226°. For Lancaster, you'll need one pointed almost due north (that's where the transmitters are, west of the city)

Look at this picture showing potential channels you can get, and where they are on the compass:

Nope. I have:

• Single dish with (I think) DIRECTV® SL3S (3-HEAD) SWM LNB

• One coax cable from the dish to a splitter with

• One coax cable from the splitter to a receiver/DVR with PI-21 power supply in-line.

• One coax cable from the splitter to a simple received in another room.

That sounds unnatural. What does the Church say about this?

But I'm willing to do it. Easier than switching back and forth.

Thanks a lot. I think tvfool is a bit better than the other url that shows info like this.
