Diplex

Would some one please explain how to use/configue diplexer to share the same RG6 cable for satellite and cable TV signal? Thanks,

To start, you need 2 of them.

Sat LNB------------\......................................................./---------------------Sat In
............................Diplexer--------shared RG6-------Diplexer
Ant Roof-----------/.......................................................\---------------------Ant In

Thanks Lak7. I thought the same way but just want to make sure diplexer can support signal flows either direction. So the bottom line is the L goes to L and H goes to H. Do you have any recommendation on the diplex brand and estimate cost?

Sat LNB (H) ------------\......................................................./------------Sat In (H)
............................Diplexer (S)--------------------------(S) Diplexer
Ant Roof (L) ------------/......................................................\------------Ant In (L)

"So the bottom line is the L goes to L and....."
Where are you getting H, L, & S from?

I just interpreted from your picture and marked some notations . L stands for low, H is for high and S stands for sharing between H & L. I have not seen a diplexer but they should have some kind of labeling to tell user which one is high and which one is low.

Here's a diplexer on the Sadoun site.
Click the little drawing and see bigger copy of wiring diagram.

Here's a diplexer on the DishStore web site.
Click the photo, for a close-up view, where you can see the wiring info on the part.

But be advised, you don't get something for nothing.
There will be a reduction in both OTA signal and satellite signal.
If you can still work under those circumstances, then a diplexer might be useful.
