Can you use a fta receiver along with cable on the same line ?

The relevant diplexors can be had on ebay for $0.99, so it would be inexpensive to try it and see.

I was reading up on Home Nodes last summer; particularly Eagle Aspen, but a couple of others also. I kind of remember some devices that would not only pass the digital signals through, but also would allow return signals for the interactive cable system.

Even for HD Cable ?

I use them to run digital cable TV and satellite to an upstairs bedroom and have no issues with digital cable and no picture interference on analog cable. I cannot say whether HD cable would be affected as my downstairs HD box is fed on a separate line from a 4 port splitter/amp.

Your performance may depend on how high in the 5-870MHz(?) band of your cable system the channels in question occupy.
