I've got a 60cm dish with a quad LNB on a wall and UHF and FM aerials on the chimney. They're around 12-14M apart.
I intend to use a Vision V24-310 FM+DAB+UHF triplexer to combine the UHF and FM signals before feeding them, along with the LNB signals, into a Vision V75-508 multiswitch. I'll then be using 7 of the multiswitch's 8 outputs to feed Labgear triplexed decombiner output plates around the house.
All of this begs a couple or three questions:
Is it better to use a couple of metres of coaxial from each aerial to bring the Vision triplexer indoors and into the loft rather than leave it outside for water to eventually get in?
Do I use the triplexer to combine the UHF and FM signals as soon as they enter the house and so have the coaxial carrying the combined signal longer, or do I keep them separate for as long as I can and keep the coaxial carrying the combined signal shorter?
Which coaxials to the multiswitch are best kept as short as possible? The ones from the LNB, or the one(s) from the triplexer, ie do I put the multiswitch near where the LNB coaxials enter the loft or where the UHF and FMs come in?
Or does it all not matter very much?
TIA.
