Would it be possible to use a standard 5-3000mhz wide range spilter to combine the directv and ota signals on the dish side as long as I use a diplexer (that spilts the sat signal from the ota signal) on the receiver side?
 
Well, that will make it tricky. I'll have to let others tell you if it is possible, as I'm really not up on diplexing OTA with the SWM LNB. I do know that running a separate coax for OTA will be a better solution.

Diplexing with the SWM LNB is a no no, as the SWM uses some OTA frequencies to function. You can diplex a traditional non-swm lnb however. jdspencer is correct regarding the seperate coax. It is the best solution.
 
You can easily diplex OTA and SWM. This is my setup. It is very easy to do and there is absolutely no problems with doing this. I have read here on this site that OTA and SWM do not share the same frequencies at all.

All that I can say is that I do it and I have never had a problem at all. Just make sure you use the right diplexer.
