I have had Voom for many months and get OTA and all Voom channels perfectly. The installer took my OTA cable (already existing roof antenna)from the wall directly into the Voom box and the Voom Sat cable from the wall directly into the Voom box. If it matters, no cables were combined from either and he never went on my roof.
I am interested in splitting the OTA antenna cable in order to get PIP on my DLP set. I know I can run to Radio Shack and buy a UHF/VHF splitter but my question has to do with this: My installer left all the stuff he did not use months ago. Along with the unused Terk antenna was a small box with a Channel Master model 4032ifd diplexer. I do not know anything about diplexors. Can I use a diplexer to split my OTA signal only?
In other words can I take the OTA cable from the wall...take it out of the back of the Voom box and put it in the "VHF/UHF in" on the diplexer, between the LNB A and LNB B connections (which will remain empty)...then run two separate coax out of the Sat A-VHF/UHF and Sat B-VHF/UHF and run one back into the Voom box and the other into the Ant in on the television?? Will this work?
Are there any signal or electrical issues I need to know about? The diplexor states "DC pass" on it.
Just trying to use leftovers..but I can afford a true OTA splitter if necessary!
