powered ota antenna and swm 8 connections?

[wease59]

I just got my swm 8 connected and connected my ota antenna to it.My question is will the swm allow a powered antenna that needs the power adapter to be inside at the tv go through all the switching to power the antenna.I tried it with no luck.Is there a special di-plexer that will allow the power to go through it to the ota so it will work and will it work with the swm connection.
Thanks

The only way to do that would be to run a cable from the antenna to the power inserter and another cable from the inserter to the SWM8 (which would defeat the whole purpose of diplexing). Is there a reason you are unable to locate the inserter near the SWM8?

It's all outside and the power inserter for the ota antenna can't be out in the weather.

Would this work?
This Diplexer is 2 SAT/Port Power Passing (PVDP-2PP) combine two separate signals into one signal from the satellite dish.

Just to let any one know,it works.You can add a powered tv antenna to a swm system with the above di-plexors.

But DO be aware that it will NOT work if you have MRV &/or CC thru the coax...
