[QUOTE="A nonymous, post: 893919, member: 240839"] The Vision V5 and V9 range of Vision switches allow you to remotely power them. They have a separate input for the power which utilises coax and f connectors as the medium to transmit the power through. I have also used some Televes switches which are also remote powered but quite frankly i thought they were s**te due to the amount of signal attenuation through them. As for receiver powered switches there is as already mentioned the Triax TMPR switch you can use. There is also the Vision Phantom switch and also the Fracarro SWI516DC & SWI508DC switches. The Triax TMPR switch allows attenuation of any signal input but does not amplify it. The Vision Phantom and fracarro switches are self setting which usually just means attenuation of the signal. Some of these receiver powered switches can also be problematic with certain models of Sky receiver. In all honesty if you have issues of signal strength i would just go for the Vision V5 or V9 switch as at least you have a small amount of signal amplification. You also have incremental output strengths down the length of the switch again giving you a lot more control over other switches that have the same output strength on every port. It just means you have to run one length of coax between the psu and the switch which is a small price to pay for such a great performing switch. This old thread may also help.
