DirecTV WB68 6x8 Multiswitch

The DirecTV WB68 is a passive wideband multiswitch that routes six satellite inputs to eight independent receiver outputs. It is built for installers and homeowners expanding a DirecTV system beyond a single dish feed, supporting both legacy and APG receivers without external power.

Installation and common issues

Power is drawn directly from each connected receiver, so no separate supply or wall outlet is needed. Connections use standard F-type ports on the dish and receiver sides; the only frequent mistake is adding terminators to unused ports, which the manufacturer explicitly warns against.

Capacity and headroom

The switch passes three wideband ranges: 250-750 MHz, 950-1450 MHz and 1650-2150 MHz, covering all DirecTV Ka/Ku signals from AT9 or AU9-S dishes. It handles eight simultaneous tuners; a ninth receiver or a second multiswitch would require a different distribution architecture.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the WB68 multiswitch is working correctly after connecting my DirecTV receivers?

Tune each of the up to eight independently operating receivers to live satellite channels; if all receivers display a clear picture across the 250-750 MHz, 950-1450 MHz and 1650-2150 MHz bands, the switch is functioning as intended.

What comes with the WB68 multiswitch and what must I purchase separately?

The unit itself is included; you must separately provide an AT9 or AU9-S Ka/Ku DirecTV satellite dish, coaxial cables for the six satellite inputs and eight receiver outputs, and the DirecTV receivers that also supply power to the passive switch.
