Re: OTA signals via multiswitch

Interesting that YOU should ask that question, Tim.

If the receiver is powered up, the OTA signals go into the receiver they just sit there and do nothing. When the power to the receiver is turned off, the output poprt of the receiver is switched from the modulated channel 3/4 to the OTA input, thus making the receiver just a passive device. A splice, if you will.

In a multiswitch, the terrestrial port goes through a splitter (4 or 8-way) then through a diplexer for each output port.

When a DirecTV multiswitch passes an OTA (over-the-air) signal
from an outdoor broadcast TV antenna, does the signal go through
the "sat box" unchanged to the TV receiver? Or does the OTA
signal get down-converted to ch. 3 like the LNB signals?

Does the OTA signal come through the odd or even-channel cable
to the "sat box"?
