With a single cable, you can combine Satellite & Cable
All you need is a Pair of Diplexers
| The following diagram shows how to combine Satellite with cable using a pair of diplexers: |
| Just like magic, these switches allow you to combine Satellite and Cable television using one single cable. The following diagram shows how these are connected. Please bear in mind, You need a pair of these. One is used to Combine both signals into one single
coaxial cable.
And the other is to separate them.
One misconception about these switches is that they can be used for combining two different satellite Signals. This is not possible. These switches will combine ONLY single Satellite Signal with either, Cable or Air Antenna Signal. Also, you should be aware that Shaw Internet with Satellite can be used with Diaplexers. However, depending on the length of cable, the internet speed could slow down.
One more application with these magic switches is feeding the entire house with a single satellite receiver signal. This is great for houses that are completely done. Thus running cables would be considered a nightmare. The only requirement for diaplexers to work is having a cable coming from each room to a central place like furnace room or utility room. If your house does have them, then all you do is connect one diplexer in the back of the receiver and the other in the cable junction located in the utility room. Then by combining a splitter with it, the entire house is hooked up with Satellite using one single receiver. The only draw back is you can only watch one channel at the time. Also, you can change channels only in the location of the satellite receiver. Unless you buy a
UHF extender.
