Ive always known diplexers will split one cable into two but thats about it. Do I need a specific diplexer for a specific purpose and is there some situations, some types of cables that cannot be split.
Im helping my friend out and we've hit a brick wall so to speak. We want to distribute sky around the house and need to run a cable up to the attic, there is definitely no room in the conduit and we can't even pull the cables out as the guy who did the job before must of got one stuck as they will not budge....
We have a cable in place that this man left but that is for the rf2 socket, that will give sky in every room but we also need a second cable to extend the roof aerial coaxial down to go into the aerial socket of the sky box....is there a suitable diplexer that we can place in the attic with the roof aerial going into one socket, then do i take the cable that is coming from the rf2 port of my sky box and put it in the diplexer as well then a third cable coming out and put it in the uhf port of my splitter box so basically my diplexer is feeding the four outputs of my splitter box with digital freeview and sky uk on analogue channel 68...
Is what Im saying correct, if so I just need help choosing the right diplexer....
My dad actually has this, maxview mhd41 masthead diplexer, is this suitable, it says low channel input, tv/mhp and high channel input on the screw down terminals...

PS. what is different about a diplexer and just a basic 2 way splitter...
