    It looks like that's an antenna coming out the back, maybe it was a low power transmitter so you could tune your TV to a certain channel and the Famicom would appear on there? Kind of like mr. microphone but for video :)

    I believe it made your Famicom wireless. It contained batteries for a power source, and used the antenna to broadcast to the TV.

    Wasn't the Satellite just a wireless Four Score? The Multi box appears to make the viedo signal wireless, which would be a totally different function.
