    Is Verizon Losing Money on FIOS?

    This is typical for many services they are set up to take an initial loss. They will make money over time. This is why they need to lock you in for a period and charge you a fee if you break the contract, it is the same for cell phones.

    combining satellite and OTA signal in a single coax

    If the frequencies don't overlap you can use 2 diplex filters. I would make sure the OTA side diplex filter has DC blocking or you can purchase them after the fact. The diplex filter has 2 inputs and 2 outputs. If you need it.

    No signal

    Put that 2nd box in place of the first box and see what happens, if you get a picture there that could point to the wiring in the other room, as a second test I would also move the good box to the other location and see if you get a picture.

    Switched Digital Video coming to Brevard!

    Correct with a limited number of users and channels it isn't so bad, but we have probably all seen slow internet response at lunch time (if you work in a large place), if it is set up for a minimal number of users per server it is okay! And yes some people like to channel surf!! I am not one...

    Diplexer for cable modem and cable tv?

    Sorry didn't catch that. As previously stated a diplexor will not work. You can find the up and downstream frequencies of the modem by accessing the modem diagnostic page. If you use a 2 way splitter/combiner you could have overlapping frequencies. If possible the easiest way is to...

    Diplexer for cable modem and cable tv?

    Did you try either cable to provide both services? Just try it and see what happens. I don't understand why there are 2 cables from the cable company in a typical plant all video and the up and downstream (data) carriers are on the same cable.

    OTA Diital or ANlaog

    It really doesn't matter what modulation type the signal is delivered to the Sat provider they use a different modulation type so it must be de-modulated and remodulated or transcoded to the modulation type used by the Sat provider.
