Installing 921 with only one cable to room

[bhellmer]

Is there any way to put a SuperDish on my roof (along with my existing OTA antenna) and get all of the necessary signals to a 921 with one cable ? I am hoping to hear that some combination of DP+ 44's, seperartors, and diplexers can do it. I want to be able to support both satellite inputs and the OTA cable on the back of the 921.

If it can be done, what exactly do I need ?

Thanks.

What you are proposing is on the outer edge of what is possible. Please read this thread. It relates to an install similar to what you are proposing.

Thanks - I may try it

Given the lessons from that thread, I think I'm going to go for it. I can always run more cable if it doesn't work and ebay or return the switches.

Thanks for the help.

Good luck. Make sure you pay attention to the diagram SimpleSimon posted in response to your question in the DPP44 review thread.

I can only say that since wiring according to SS's diagram I have had no trouble with maintaining a signal. It has been several weeks and I never went that long before without losing the 119 signal and having trouble getting it back.

Cool It's nice to get some feedback. After all, I just pull this stuff out of a dark place and hope some of it sticks.

But really - it IS nice to know it's working for ya.
