satellite & aerial question

[vtec123]

Hi guys

Newbie Guy

I have 4 T.Vs in the house all aerial wire are in loft.
some of the T.Vs have freeview HD and some freesat HD and freeview HD.

Can I install satellite dish and Aerial all going to some kind of spliter that will send signal to the right t.v??


I want a good dish about 60cm and aerial so can u recommend any please.


Thanks

Hi,
You can have both Freeview and freesat feeds to all rooms by the aid of diplexing signals... or you can just route the required signal to whichever room you want.

Each satellite tv needs its own satellite feed, so you'd have to diplex after the terrestrial splitter.

Thanks for the reply were do i get a diplexing thing from? Pls

 

[Robbo]

eBay would probably be the easiest, or maplin, but probably overpriced from there.

Thanks Robbo & satelliteman for your help.
so I will have 3 feeds from my dish going into a deplexing then into the T.Vs
Which dish would u recommend 60cm
Thanks

 

[satelliteman]

Depending on location (if you are North West England), a 43cm zone1 will be fine for freesat on 28 East.

West midlands
with the deplexer I will need one for each t.v. and then one main one in the loft.
can the satellite dish be used to pick up Terrestrial freeview channels??
Or do I have to buy both dish and aerial??
Thanks

Freeview comes off the transmitter network.

Freesat comes off the satellites

If you want both then you will need an aerial & satellite dish.

Several of our members who are also installers cover your area, you might want to think about letting someone do the install who will get you up and running in one go, and are guaranteed to do it right first time.

Inverto do a four output LNB with a Terrestrial input, which should fit your needs, fitted one some time ago, no need for diplexers in the loft, just connect an aerial to the LNB input and couple to the four cables in the loft, then fit diplexed outlets in the rooms.

I recall seeing an advert for an octo LNB with a terrestrial TV input a couple of years ago whilst reading the French version of TeleSatellite. If this is (still?) available in the UK it would give some futureproofing if you decide to fit a fifth TV or a satellite PVR which needs two feeds.

I've seen a quad with tv uhf input recently, but not an octo.

There used to be an Octo version by another manufacturer, used one years ago, not aware of one that's available nowadays. SAS one of our advertisers sell the Inverto quad model, although it isn't on their website, you may need to ring them.

The jobs for the boys section is for installers only I'm afraid.
