The modulates degrade the signal too much for me.
With an AB switch you can send sat or antenna signal to the back.
I didn't run a second co-ax to the rear. Don't plan to. This schematic would work if you had a roof top dish, but I use a tripod. The SWM 8 with OTA plexer has four cables from the LNB. I use the single wire LNB with the built in switch and would have to run my antenna back outside to the switch.
I run one wire from the dish to the cable input outside which gets it to the front Av center. From there I will use a four wide splitter with power inserter and di plex the sat/antenna to the rear and out side tv which runs from the rear tv area to the outside bay. I will probably use an AB switch back there as I understand trying to split the diplexed signals(s) will attenuate the signal too much. I don't care that the outside and rear tv are on the same channel. When we have all three tv's on, its football season.
Its a work in progress, hope to have it alll done this weekend.
