Combining Signals

[ferdinand]

Hello All:

I am moving to a house that has one coax line coming into the house, but I have two signals that I want to send in: a Directv signal and a satellite signal called RTN (see http://www.rtn.tv) signal.

I then want to split them when they get to my living room, and then send the signals into my Directv receiver and by RTN receiver (which is an old Directv Receiver). I will use separate TVs to view each signal.

I this possible? I was reading something about using a "combiner", but I'm not sure if this will even work. Any advise will be much appreciated!!

Thanks.

Ferdinand

A power passing diplexor set might work. It all depends on the frequencies you need. I'm not familiar with either Direct or RTN.

No you cannot put two satellite signals on the same line diplexers combine satellite signals and OTA/cable,non intefering frequencies.

Do you think this diplexer from Radio Shack would work for a cable and satellite connection?

Nope...tried it

You can use it to combine satellite & OTA, but not 2 satellite (or satellite & cable)
