Wait, slow down. Is this a DirecTV satellite?

You need two cables to each receiver on a DirecTV system. Not one. It's a multiplexed signal. The outputs off of the multiswitch should be in ganged pairs, and there should be two inputs on the back of each DirecTV receiver.


Maybe I'm wrong but don't you only need two cables for receivers that can tune two channels at once (Only DVR units)?
