I have a 2 x 4 multiswitch hooked up to my round DirectTV satellite. I have also attached an OTA antennae to the multiswitch.

My question is this: Do I need to use a diplexer for every line I run from the multiswitch or do I only need a diplexer on the line I want to split the OTA signal from?

Will the OTA signal mess up the satellite signal if I don't use a diplexer on that line?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

You only need a diplexer on the line where you want to split off the OTA. On the other lines the OTA signal should not affect your satellite signal.

How do you attach an OTA antenna to a 2x4 multiswitch? Is it a 3x4 multiswitch?
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
