Thanks for the advice! I never did like the combiner/splitter approach since I never re-combined them back into the satellite receiver anyway. The installer showed my fiance how to use the setup (I was at work during installation) where you had to turn off the VCR to watch the satellite and turn of the satellite to watch basic cable. Totally stupid. I fixed it when I got home but my fiance was confused by the installer for life. :-(
TV Antenna and Satellite on one coax cable
Hey.
I'm moving to a house next week and the previous owners have a large roof antenna for TV reception and no cable at all. I currently have basic cable and a satellite dish and when it was installed it was run over the same piece of coax with a combiner and splitter.
When the installer comes to put up the dish in the new house should I make them run a new piece of coax for it or let them use the same coax for both the TV antenna and satellite? My only concern is audio/video quality. Anything else I'm not considering?
Thanks!
