Diplexer Question

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.video.satellite.mpeg-dvb (More info?)

Is it possible to connect outputs from two seperate dishes to a
diplexer. I have Directv connected to 3 different rooms. I am planning
on purchasing a FTA system primarily for programming from Thailand. I
would like to connect the cable in with a DTV line in the attic to the
same outlet. I know a diplexer works with Sat and OTA antenna but wasn't
sure about two Satellite sources

No, This would not work. A diplexer is designed for a low and a high
frequency to share a single coax. You would need to band stack and unstack
to have this single coax solution, but not sure how the DirecTV system would
react to this. I would suggest pulling another line!

no, best you can do is send the Thailand TV on the satellite line as
CH3.
