I have my old Multiswitch from DTV (JVI 35-DTV38MS) Just was wondering if this could still be used as a splitter? It's powered, so would be nice to have a freebie to setup the other TVs in my house with.

Splitter for what? Standard Cable TV? DirecTV?

Digital Cable

Does it have a ant it. If so it should pass basic cable but will not pass internet or some digital channels

Thanks Home...that's what I was looking for... Just need something to pass analog since I'm plugging these cables directly into my TV sets without a STB

Question about these switches. What exactly do they do? I know that I can't split (regular splitter) an RX line from my dish/switch and use the split as inputs for my DVR - record one channel while watching another but could I use the switch to do this (?) or are the LNB-A/LNB-B inputs to the switch crucial to the record-one-watch-another scenario? What I'm thinking is that perhaps the switch will take one RX line and multiplex it to the 2 DVR inputs ....

TIA,
Bob

Even power passing 2GHZ splitters will not be reliable getting signal to both satellite tuners on a DVR. The only way to avoid "searching for sat signal on Input 2", or a burned and failed LNB (from using such high freq splitters) is to run discrete lines to the box with D* IRD's. Dish has their separators to make a single line split to two.
