I want just to use one receiver in the TimeI would use the 3 way satellite splitter, that is if you have enough signal to do so, as the splitter will cut the signal strength to each receiver by one half the original.
With a 2 in 1 splitter (a "T-splitter") the electricity of the one receiver can indeed reach tho other receiver, and cause damage.Can i use 2 in 1 coaxial splitter?
But what if the two receivers are powered on simultanously? is it dangerous? Could broke the receivers becouse they send electricity to eatch other?

With a 3-way satellite splitter, or with a sat priority switch, it can not, because they have protective parts against that.

understandableIf both are powered up at the same time and the splitter does not have reverse DC blocking diodes you could have problems.
The LNB switches between the satellite transponder polarity's by using a DC voltage supplied by the receiver, +13 volts for vertical transponders, +18 volts for horizontal transponders, if one receiver was on a vertical and the other was on a horizontal then there could be a possibility of damage to the receiver that is on the vertical transponder.
if i want to use the receiver that connected to power pass port it's ok but if i want to use the other receiver i should power on both receiversAnother point to note, you can only watch one polarity at a time, i.e you cannot watch Vertical on one receiver and Horizontal on the other. I have used the ones in the picture in the past, with power pass. The receiver connected to the output with the power pass has to be on for the other receiver to work. The one polarity rule still applies though.View attachment 156040
Yes, both receivers on will be fine. The receiver using the power pass will need to be on for the second receiver to work. No worries about overloading anything. The power pass receiver powers the LNB, with power from the slave receiver blocked to prevent damage.if i want to use the receiver that connected to power pass port it's ok but if i want to use the other receiver i should power on both receivers

Well, I will follow your adviceNo no no! Thats a recipe for all sortes of issues. Interference leaking in, short circuits, damage to the reciver and so on
Get an isolating A/B switch from amazon for about a tenner instead. Its a simple mechanial push sitch - Ive used them for years with no issues.
