Help splitting a combined satellite feed into 2 separate feeds

[lukemersh]

I have 2 satellite dishes that are combined into 1 feed.
I am looking for help into what I need to split the feeds back into separate feeds.

please provide list of items, as I want to buy these but dont have much idea of satellite parts.

many thanks.

if you have 2 dishes already and both already have lnbs
run separate cable from each dish to your boxes
then you will have separate feeds for each dish

more cable or use what cable you already have

a 5 year old could work that out

as davvo says, just remove the currnet hardware that combines the 2 feeds

No need for that.
the cables are connected to a small box, which I think combines the feeds.
I just didnt want to have to make more holes in the wall, I thought there was a feed splitter that I could attach to the cable that goes into the receiver that would then have 2 separate cables to go into each box.

The only other thing is that he cut into the existing cable to join them with some joining box, so I am wondering if there would be a problem as he cut into the existing cable?

Apart from this I am unable to get to the LNBs, I was kind of hoping that there was some sort of equipment that I can connect to the cable at my end that would split the feeds ??

Sounds very much your 2 dishes are pointing at different satellites and the Box your talking about is a 2/1 diseqc switch which combines both satellite feeds into 1 cable so that you have instant switching from your receiver to each satellite.

As mentioned you have to run separate cable feeds from each dish if you want them separate again.

I have seen and read about a satellite signal splitter or something like that, wouldnt that be possible in my case?

Why pay to add things, when the best thing to do has already been recommended and is free. Just remove the diseqc switch and run the two cables separately

My problem is that the switch is to high up and as I said I am unable to get to the lnbs coz I dont have ladder.

Well unless you can get to the switch there is nothing you can do, Call someone out a Professional to do it for you
