Direct TV + Two Tivos

[Mill]

Yeah, I figured it'd be easy, but this is a 3x4 Zinwell switch, and it has a space for 18 or 13 volt Satellite as well as ANT IN then it has for RX outs. Does anyone know how to wire this up, or do I just go through both satellite slots, and have to use a multimeter to get voltage?

Easy, One line from the dish into one input on the multiswitch, the other into the other (doesn't matter which is which), 2 lines out of the multiswitch to tivo 1, the other 2 to tivo 2

Cool, so the markings don't matter(18v or 13v)? Thanks for the help!

Depends on how your planning on using it, "normal" browsing + a few downloads work great as long as you get used to the lag (2000ms+, 800 kbs Down/20 - 50 kbs Up, as long as you keep it less than 150Mb in 8 Hrs your good), Gaming, Servers, VPNs, etc. are awful due to the major lag (2000ms+). Uploading is also bad due to the dial-up type speeds, Price is also a factor ($600 up-front + $59 a month or $99 up-front + $99 a month for 15 months, then it drops to $59 a month).

Bottom line, if you can get cable or DSL, don't even consider Dway, if you are stuck with Dial-up and don't mind the price, go for it
