Is it possible to combine digital cable and satellite with diplexors or do some of the digital cable frequencies overlap with satellite frequencies??? I guesds I just haven't come accross this particular situation yet... Thanks for your help.

Diplexers work fine, but watch out -- they don't tell you a detail that finally matters after all these years.

Check out [Link: dbs-online.com]

for info on the Channel Master diplexer. The larger one, the 8002, does not allow the LNB to put junk into the upper cable frequency range. I have not seen this be an issue with straight cable or with UHF, but digital signals on cable or over the air are affected.

Use the big one.

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

It is not a good idea most digital boxes are now 2 way thru the cable ond most diplex will not pass the
return from the box to the office.You may also get some tileing on the digital box as well.I would just run another line and use a double F81 wall plate.
