I have a direct tv splitter. do I need a power inseter also even if I have 2 reciever boxes, 1 for each tv ?

keep the power inserter indoors out of the rain. (It will be plugged into a 110 plug) Make sure you ground it and also ground your dish.

Yes...you will need a power inserter as well. Directtv 5 LNB SWM will require a 29Volt inserter. Some older receivers insert power (13 volts or so)...i'm not sure that is enough but, you may want to try yours out before you buy a inserter...if not an inserter doesn't cost too much!

I am an amateur user. I have SWM just like the one in the picture. Single line goes to a power inserter then to a splitter. from the splitter you only need 1 line to your box (even a dvr with dual tuners) works great. Make sure your splitter is made for the SWM. You can buy all this stuff on Amazon dirt cheap. Splitter $5-10 dollars. Power inserter 10-$15 dollars. thanks- joe (husband)

Make sure you have your TV input source on the same one your box is connected to

Works just as a DI box does but you will need to use the power cord unless you are running from a power center with TRS cables.Hope this helps

You should/need to use one power inserter for each amplifier. Reasons? You may not know if the power being inserted is the right voltage for all amplifiers on the circuit or if the power module being used can power more than one amplifier. Plus, each amplifier and their corresponding inserter should have a single run of coax between them, because signal taps and splitters will not normally pass a DC current unless they say that they are power passing devices. If they are power passing, they may pass power through only one leg. Read the specs of whatever splitter or tap for power passing you intend to use in trying to power more than one amplifier at a time.. You should/need to use one power inserter for each amplifier.

Sorry, I don't know. I only bought one & I love it...I have mine plugged in to one of the HDMI ports on my TV & only use it to switch between my Tivo & DVD player when needed & I still have two ports open that I'm not using. My guess though to your question, is that each remote probably runs its associated box, therefore, if I'm right, you would need both remotes if you're accessing port 1, 2, 3 or 4 on either box. The signals are probably unique for each device. Reaching out to the vendor directly may get you the best answer. Hope this helps :)

The antenna comes with a mini power line amplifier that does require power. The amplifier is a separate unit, so it can be attached to the cable anywhere along the line. When using a single television, you can just attach the amplifier to the cable at the television since you have power at that location. If using multiple televisions, you need to attach the amplifier somewhere between the antenna and the splitter. The connecting cord for power is about 6 feet long.

Yes to instructions... The power inserter is needed if you are not using a power splitter. The band splitter may be needed depending on the box you are using and if you are using the a power splitter.

You would only need one if your audio source is optical. I needed one just because my TV only has an optical audio output.

You will need one power inserter internally to power the LNB. There is one cable coming from the LNB that will need split with a swm splitter that has a power port...if you have more than one receiver in the house. If only one receiver, you can hook it directly out of the "signal to ird" port inserter into the receiver. If two receivers, you actually split the cable with the swm splitter and no cables will come out of your power inserter "signal to ird" port

how can you use on receiver, cable box and blue ray would you need 3 way splitter for the male end to go out to 3 different box

The best way to do this is use shortest cable possible between the pre amp and power inserter (or power amp included) best to use power amp plugged into out let by attic light, then use what ever splitter you want to go to you tvs.

Power not required. I suspect if you live far enough away from the source, or you split it aggressively, you might need a powered signal booster, but for us the signal is outstanding when split to two TVs, no power boost.

Just one feeding power to the splitter/amplifier. The splitter should have one input labeled for whichever feed line you connect this into.

No you do not need two systems. This unit simply relays IR signal(s) sent from any remote to your devices hidden away. You stick one of the four IR blasters coming out of the unit on the IR eye of each of your devices and the IR receiver on the edge of your TV. Then you point any remote at TV and press button. The signal will leave your remote to the IR receiver and through the cord the unit. From there the unit will replay the signal to all 4 IR blasters that are placed on the IR eyes of your devices (STB, DVD, AV Receiver, etc...)

Assuming your receiver has hdmi output and your using that, you will need another hdmi cable along with this one (so you have a total of three hdmi cables) and a hdmi splitter (one input and two outputs)Connect the current hdmi cable that is attached to TV1 from the receiver to the input of the splitter then connect the two new hdmi cables to the output of the splitter and into the inputs of TV1 and TV2

Theoretically you could add the splitter as it should fit. I just do not know if splitting the power output from the HDMI cable will lead to an unacceptably short emitter range for your needs.Also, contrary to the previous person's situation my installation has been working perfectly for 6 months and I am using a 25 foot HDMI cable.

Yes. You can replace your 2 way splitter with this splitter and will have the ability to have 4 DirecTv receivers attached working independently of each other.
