[QUOTE="rlevis, post: 819525, member: 81718"] Somewhat offtopic. I'm about 2 weeks away from moving to another house and hiring a TV aerial guy to install a satellite dish, UHF antenna, and I also want a single dipole VHF-FM antenna so I can continue to listen to FM radio in MP. I suspect FM radio is only working currently as I have VHF low band and VHF high band antennas combined into the coax. There are only 2 runs of RG6 in the new house, so I was thinking LNB1 + UHF combined on the roof on one coax and LNB2 + FM on the other using 2 combiners I've seen which handle both UHF or VHF + Satellite. Or should perhaps UHF+VHF+LNB1 be on one of coax, and just LNB2 on the other? I haven't found a combiner that will to all 3 yet. I think this would need a UHF/VHF diplexer first, and then feed this into another diplexer which handles UHF/VHF plus satellite. In the house I've got 2 satellite receivers and 2 UHF/FM receivers. That's 4 antenna sockets in my MP box. Obviously a DiSEqC will be required for the 2 LNB's. I believe the BTG3600 should handle DiSEqC ok. Is a splitter required to split the UHF/FM and satellite signals from the coax before the 2 satellite coaxes hit the DiSEqC switch? Or doesn't matter which way around this occurs? The FM component seems to make this somewhat more complicated. Somewhere the UHF & FM signals need to be combined into the same coax. Not sure if this should be done on the roof or in the house.
