Need help with Satellite & Cable TV on One Coaxial

[nitewolfgtr]

Hi everyone. I know this is a Dish Network discussion board but wasn't sure where to post this.
I'm going to help my uncle install Korean Satellite Dish at his house but he also has Basic Cable (first 20 or so channels). He wants to run Satellite and Cable on one Coaxial cable. I wasn't sure how to do this without much signal loss.

Only TV 1 will be receiving SAT and Cable. TV 2 and TV 3 in the bedrooms will only receive Cable. I will be using the existing cables in the house. Hopefully it will be RG6.

I have a diagram that I think might work. Any advice?

Get a power passing splitter thats rated for satellite and then you won't need to use any diplexers in the attic.

Something like this?

Also, If I use a powerpass splitter, do I need a diplexer for TV2 and TV3? Cuz wouldn't that theoretically pass SAT and Cable TV signal to TV2 and TV3 as well?

Yes, something like that should work,

It won't hurt any thing to have the SAT signal sent to TV2 or 3.

The only thing you cannot do is have a satellite receiver at more than one location at any time with this setup.

So even if SAT and Cable signal are both sent to TV2 or 3, I can still watch Cable TV without Diplexer at each end?

Also, will all port power pass splitter work or do I need a 1 port power pass splitter?
Will 900-2050 Mhz rated splitter work or do I need a 5-2300Mhz splitter?

What about signal loss? Should I be worried about signal loss on SAT from this setup?

Thanks

Free To Air forum is where this really belongs.

not really as cable tv is involved

Not really as cable Tv ins involved... as in, Diplexer is not required?

Also, will all port power pass splitter work or do I need a 1 port power pass splitter?

Free to air is definitely were this belongs. I ran sat and OTA on a single cable once. The OTA antennae guys had all the answers about how to filter extraneous noise and power. You want to ground at certain points along the way to prevent equipment damage.

Can this be moved to FTA forum? Dont want to create duplicate threads...
