Was wondering if anyone knows of a DisEqc switch that has an OTA antenna input and also a splitter to use inside that will split off the FTA (to rcvr) & OTA (to TV) signals.
 
This one has a terrestrial input, but I think it would only work with a receiver that "knows" how to separate the OTA feed from the satellite feeds..

EMP-Centauri brand

9in/1out 1.1&1.2 switch for up to 8 satellite positions and 1 subscriber, equipped with combiner for terrestrial band. It is designed for switching between 5 to 8 LNBs. Control mode is configured using built-in DIP switch, see Instruction manual for details.

The product allows joining terrestrial band to common downlead.

If you have a fairly simple setup (one dish with both H and V polarity channels fed from a dual output lnbf or two dishes with H channels on one dish and V channels on the other fed from single output lnbfs) then a SAM-3402 multi-switch might work for you. Allows you to hook the antenna up to it and has enough outputs to feed four FTA receivers sat signal and four TVs an OTA signal.


You would also need a diplexer/splitter at each coax output to separate the OTA and FTA signals. Maybe something like this one.


Please note there will be a bit of signal loss with any type of spliiter/combiner setup so you must take that into account. :)
