My current situation : From the dish to the inside there are 2 RG6 feeds ran to a closet where I can distribute to my various rooms. My dish is a 24" eliptical with the multiswitch on the back and currently those 2 RG6 feeds from the outside are ran inside with the SATA + SATB signal in each and then in my closet i just have those hooked straight into the RG6 feed for the living room, and then the other RG6 feed for the master bedroom, and then from that closet I have 4 other RG6 feeds i can use down the road for various room locations all pre-wired.
What I want to do ...
Hook up my new DST3000 in my living room, leave the current rcvr in the master bedroom, and move the now extra 3rd rcvr that the DST3000 is replacing into the guestroom. Additionally, I want to get an OTA antenna that will go to at least teh DST3000 in the living room.
1) Since there are only 2 RG6 feeds coming in from outside currently, I need an additional multiswitch in the closet where those 2 feeds end up, correct?
2) Can I run an RG6 feed into the multi-switch that is currently outside from an OTA antenna and then have the OTA + SATA + SATB running through each of those RG6 feeds from outside?
3) If yes to #2, do I need to use a diplexor anywhere?
Any help is great, and if something here needs clarified let me know.
