I know with MPEG 4 you can not diplex a line to run OTA or Cable (my case) on it.
In my second floor office, we have cable come through for the cable modem and also telephone, and it must come here. It can not go to the 1st floor and use wireless, because, wireless is 2-3X slower than being hard wired, and for the work I do, I need to be hard-wired to get the upload stream around 950kbps that my provider gives.
Are there alternatives? I figure I could run a second line, which I wouldn't object to doing before the installer gets here (otherwise, he's just giving me the receiver... no dish). However, being on the second floor complicates things. It would be very hard to fish the line from here to the basement, so I can run it by the other connections, right?
Another alternative would be to run a line from the guest room to here, and not have a box in the guest room. It would be a long run, but I could pin it to the molding around the entire room, into the closet, and then through that wall into this room. Not something I want to do.
Does the 6X8 multiswitch allow for OTA or Cable to run through it as well? If so, how do you "diplex" it out on the other side if a diplexer can not be used?
Are there any other alternatives?
Please help. The guy is coming Monday and I want to know if I can put the dish up or not. I figure I'll ask here because who knows if a competent installer is coming or not.
