How to wire a sat dish 110/ 119 with OTA Antenna?

[gwrowe]

Need to know how to wire a sat dish with 2 LNBs and a OTA antenna, need a diagram or step by step on how to do this, and what switches to use. Thanks in advance! Want connect this to a Nanosat Premium.

get a 3x4 switch

If you want just one cable entering the house, use a pair of diplexers. Diplexer combines/splits satellite signal and ota signal. One diplexer goes outside, the other inside. Any satellite switches would depend on type of lnb used.

I think the only sd box that worx with a diplexer is the 360E

I'll give this try and post back.

I think you're referring to a dish pro plus seperator. A diplexor can combine the 2 different freq used, below 950 MHz for ota or cable, and the higher lo freq used by satellites. So using a pair one combines the 2 signals, the other seperates them.
The 3x4 switches I've seen has a built in diplexor, but are only good for one lnb. There is a 13v and 18v input, antenna input; then 4 outputs.

Yes...too many b33rs last nite...lol

You have 2 LNBs (110 & 119) therefore you need a 5x4 multiswitch and 1 diplexer. 1 input to the antenna input of the 5x4 and 2 inputs from each LNB. The diplexer is placed at the other end of one of the outputs from the 5x4 to in turn input to your TV and Sat. receiver.

You also must be sure that the diplexer will go to at least 3 GHz on the sat side or you will be missing some transponders if your using the DP or DPP LNB's, and the switch has to be one approved for the DPP LNB. (If thats the type of LNB you have)

Another thing to remember is that the diplexer is going to add 3 to 6 dB of signal loss to the receiver, so your "S" and "Q" reading will change.

If you have a low "Q" reading now, then you may want to just run a second coax directly to the TV set.
