Hello. First I'll mention my current set up as it is now in my home.
We are moving soon and the setup will be a bit different.
I have a Dish Network VIP622 DVR receiver. This receiver has 3 hdtv
tuners inside. 2 for the Dish satellite signal and another for an off
air antenna. The Dish signals are brought to the receiver on one
coaxial cable where they are separated into two coaxial cables that
connect to tuner 1 and tuner 2. My off-air antenna comes to the
receiver on its own coaxial cable where it connects to the off-air
antenna tuner.
In my new home, we will be placing our receiver in the finished
basement. There is only 1 coaxial jack there. I have easy access to
the distribution point where all of the coaxial cables for the home
are located.
My question is this. Can I combine all three sources (2 from the Dish
and 1 from the off-air antenna) onto one coaxial cable, send them to
the jack where the receiver will be, then separate the three signals
from the single cable back into 3 separate coaxial cables?
Right now I see with our current setup that two signals are combined
onto one coaxial cable, then separated back into 2 signals. I'd
simply be combining 3 signals onto one coaxial cable, then back into 3
signals again at the receiver.
I'm only asking this question because it is going to be difficult if
not impossible to get a new single coaxial cable to the desired
location for the off-air signal.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks,
Ward
