A/B switch use on Satellite feed?
I've read where splitters are not to be used on satellite feeds (DirecTv Trav'ler dish), but is OK to use A/B switches to quickly switch inputs between the MH's cable/OTA feed and Satellite?
Forum Discussion
As my diagram above shows, I am using a single input point to provide for 3 different sources, all requiring different, mutually exclusive, devices.
1. Cable (straight shot to video control center)
2. 18" round antenna satellite, only satellite receiver inline
3. vuqube 2100 satellite, with 2100 controller AND satellite receiver inline
Without good, functioning diplexers and A/B switch, it wouldn't work, but it works well in all 3 modes.
You had a bad diplexer.

There is, in fact, a "Splitter" designed for that (Diplexer it is called) However I do not recommend them,,, Tried one once, not good.
