Expand Directv Triple LNB with Built in Mutilplexer?
I have Directv with a triple LNB dish with a built in Multiplexer; I get 4 feeds out of the dish that I run directly to to my recievers. I need more. I have 2 TVIO recievers and 2 regular recievers. I need 2 inputs for the TVIO recievers to take full advantage of them. It will also be very difficult to run a second cable to one of the TVIOs. Is there a way I can split the already Multiplexed Signal from the one cable currently run to my TVIO?

Nope. You'll have to run a second line and to do that you'll need a 5x8 multi-switch. It takes the 4 inputs that you currently have and gives you 8 outputs.
I have the same problem. I gave my wife a dual tuner DirecTivo for Christmas last year for the sitting room where she watches a lot of TV. There's only one coax and it's not easy to run another one, plus I'm already using the other 3 (two for the main DirecTivo and one for my HD receiver). So I'll be doing just that before too long.
