How can I share out an OTA anntena with Upstairs VIP211?

[bongohawk]

I have a Dish 1000 with a VIP 622 and 211 receivers and currently have cheap antennas connected to both receivers. My 211 reciever is in the bedroom and gets better OTA reception mainly because it is upstairs. I have looked around this site and others to see if there is a way to share out my upstairs antenna to both my 211 and downstairs 622 while using the same cable line fed to my bedroom? I did find a Super Home node device, but not sure if this is exactly what I need. The system was setup by an installer with 1 diplexer outside and then the normal 2 for the 622.

I *think* what you're asking is if you can diplex the upstairs (211) antenna into the 622 receiver, correct? It's a bit tricky, but can be done. In the long run, I think you would be better off putting an antenna in your attic or outside and simply diplex the incoming feed to each receiver at the dish or groundblock.

yes, i am asking how you can diplex the upstairs (211) antenna into the 622 receiver.
