Thread: can swim system will work with diplexer

Hi guys

i just want to know if i put two diplexer in each two lines , to mix cable and satellite .will it work or just will work with the old directvsystem but not for swim lnb. thanks

Old system yes, SWM no. Some say they've done it before but I've never seen it or been able to successfully get it to work. SWM and cable run on nearly the same frequency (from what I understand) so it causes a huge mix up between signals.

Please explain how you don't end up with 771 on the receiver? I've managed to get it to work for a few days then either burn up the diplexers or just end up searching for signal

I'm sorry. I misread your orginal post. I used to diplexers to mirror tvs not to mix cable and sat. Im not 100% sure how to mix the 2. I applogiZe.

Curiosity. How do you have it ran now? (The way it worked for a while)

I don't, I can't figure out how. I've played a little with it at home just trying things but never had it work solid for more then a few days
