how to merge OTA with my SW21?

[tallguy]

Hi,

I have a SW21 with my dish 500 to enable me to see 110, 119 and 148. Works just fine.

Also have an OTA antenna on the roof. I wish to diplex the signal into the house. How do I do this? When I plug a diplexer in to the line, I can only see the OTA signal inside my house.

Is there a specific SW21 compatible diplexor?

Thanks,
TG

Put the PAIR of diplexers on the line as the 'inside' devices.

SW21 --- diplexer ---//--- diplexer --- Sat In
 Ant ------'                     '------ Ant In

did that!

Did that -- did not work.

Do I have a bad diplexor?

While there is no SW21-specific diplexer, it does have to be an appropriate Satellite/OTA model.

DC power-passing on the satellite (950MHz and above) side. Probably DC blocking on the OTA (900MHz and below) side.
