I've hashed this out with a number of folks, including one member here. I'm looking for real experience here.
I've got a Terk S25 Satellite Dish and a Terk TV50 terrestrial antenna similar to the TV55 on the link. I have two Samsung TRS160 HD/Sat receivers. I want both receivers to get HD Terrestrial as well as the sat. Has anyone tried a multiswitch like the Spaun 3403 or Spaun 5402 to do this? In theory it's all really simple, but I don't want something that won't actually work, or loses signal quality/strength of the Terrestrial signal. I was also considering an amplifier on the terrestrial signal and running a separate RG6 to each receiver, but, man, that's turning into spaghetti! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences! |

I've already got it on one. One is fairly easy. Just mount the antenna and diplex the antenna with the sat and undiplex it in front of the receiver. Voila! Your terrestrial HD should look as good if not a tad better than the DirecTV HD stuff.
My concern is loosing signal strength on the terrestrial end by being split, etc... |
