Re: [Satellite] What is a "Signal combiner"

A combiner is the same as a splitter, just flipped around. The feed from the satellite dish to the receiver can't use a splitter except only in specail circumstances that you likely will never have.

What you want is a diplexer. They look the same as a splitter/combiner, but they serve a different function. They shift one side of the signal to a higher frequency so that both signals can travel on the same piece of coax. Then another diplexer, turned around, shifts them back down and separates them into different outputs.
