For Astro SD decoder, it should be no problem. But aspect a signal loss by 3dB. I had did that at my parent house.
But it won't work for Astro Byond (HD)

Yeah, looks same but i think different brand, can't remember. The one i help my friends to install at his house has freq up to 1000Mhz only, but it still work shocking.gif
Just compare signal loss during rain after you install

Guys, wanna ask how do I actually split 1 single Astro cable to 2 decoders, without pulling a new cable from the dish. Reason is my new place uses centralized dish and the cables are already concealed in the wall by the developer.

Sorry for omitting that info. Right now is still the old dish, but changing to b.yond dish soon. (Cabling no change though).
Does it make a difference though?

How do you want to change the dish as your house is using centralized dish? hmm.gif
changing the dish also mean change to byond as well. is it right?

Good news then, your place will be one of the first. For those using individual dish, Astro will provide new dish with LNB that has 2 output, they don't allow using splitter, because when 1 decoder tune to HD channel, another decoder won't get any signal. But not sure about centralized dish, maybe Astro has another solution for this. You need to tell Astro about your situation when they call you for T&C after you register to byond.
