I'm not sure exactly what I need, so let's start with a straightforward technical question - Can I add an additional OTA signal into a cable that is diplexed, or do I have to un-diplex (uniplex?) it first?
I have one of those POS Terk clip-ons on my Dish, which diplexes an OTA antenna signal with the output from my Dish(es). I would like to join/merge/inject/whatever the coax (TV2) output from a ViP622 onto that so it will show up in the UHF band on my other TVs.
So, in other words, can I take the cable(s) coming from my roof, attach it to one input on the double side of a splitter/combiner, attach the TV2 coax to the other input, and then run a single cable from the single side to a diplexer, from which the Sat signal would go to another STB and the OTA to an antenna input?
Or do I have to run it into the diplexer first, then combine the OTA and TV2, then diplex the combined signal back with the Sat feed to get back down to a single cable run?
(Not that this should be relevant to the answer, but I intend to attach the OTA cable to a CECB with analog passthrough so this question does NOT become moot after February 17).
