Thank you for purchasing the Home Signal Distribution Kit for Satellite TV Plus SIRIUS The Home Signal Distribution Kit for Satellite TV Plus SIRIUS allows you to com- ® ® ® bine your Dish Network or DIRECTV signal with the SIRIUS signal into one RG-6 cable, avoiding the necessity of installing a separate cable from the SIRIUS antenna to the SIRIUS radio. Instead, both the satellite TV signal and SIRIUS signal are combined together outdoors near the satellite TV dish. Inside the home at a c

Installation overview Depending upon your particular configuration, you may decide to combine the satellite TV and SIRIUS signals on the roof near the satellite TV dish, or if a multiswitch is present, to combine the signals before or after the multiswitch. The following sections explain the various configurations: — Simple Configuration: Your satellite TV system has a single LNB and no multiswitch (page 7). — Before Multiswitch Configuration: Your satellite TV system uses a multiswitch and

Simple Configuration (Single LNB, No Multiswitch) A simple configuration without a multiswitch might look like the following illustra- tion. The SIRIUS signal and the satellite TV signal are combined into one and use the existing satellite TV cable run from the roof all the way into the room in- side the home where the SIRIUS radio and satellite TV receiver are located. The signals are then split and connected to each device. The benefit of the SIRIUS Combiner/Splitter in this scenario is avo

Before Multiswitch Configuration This configuration is only used when the multiswitch is not located on the roof. In this configuration the SIRIUS signal and the satellite TV signal are combined on one common cable on the roof. The combined signal is then carried from the roof to the multiswitch where the signal is split back into separate signals before the multiswitch. The benefit of the SIRIUS Combiner/Splitter in this installation is avoiding having to run an additional cable for the SI

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.

DISHPRO ADAPTER The next diagram shows the same configuration as the previous illustration. You can see that one output of the multiswitch is connected to the input of the Combiner, and that there are no devices such a splitter or DishPro adapter in the common cable run between the Combiner and Splitter. If a DishPro adapter is needed, it must be installed after the Splitter as shown. WITHOUT DISHPRO ADAPTER: WITH DISHPRO ADAPTER: COMBINER COMBINER MULTISWITCH MULTISWITCH COMMON COMMON CABLE

Materials Required In order to install the SIRIUS antenna and the Combiner and Splitter, you will need to purchase several lengths of RG-6 cables to complete your installation. The length of the cables needed is dependent upon your particular configuration. RG-6 cable is typically sold in lengths of 10, 25, or 50 ft., with “F” type connec- tors on each end. These cables may be purchased at your local hardware store, home center, or electronics retailer. The cables which must be purchased are

After Multiswitch Configuration (Multiswitch Inside the Home) When the multiswitch is located inside the home, a cable from the SIRIUS anten- na needs to be installed and run to the vicinity of the multiswitch inside the home. There the SIRIUS signal and satellite TV signal from the output of the multiswitch are combined on one common cable. The combined signal is carried all the way into the room where the SIRIUS radio and satellite TV receiver/tuner are located, where the signals are then
