Re: [Satellite] What is a "Signal combiner" What you need is a UHF modulator for the satellite receiver (do a Google search on ChannelPlus or UHF modulator).
In the "main" room you have three coaxes - one for satellite, one for the OTA antenna and one going to the other rooms.
Get a UHF modulator. To this device feed an audio/video signal from the satellite receiver. Set the modulator to output on an unused UHF channel. Combine the UHF output from the modulator with the coax from the OTA antenna (you can use a splitter connected 'backwards' to do this). Feed the combined signal to the local TV and also to the other rooms (via the third coax). |

| So using a UHF modulator will enable me to watch ota programming on other TVs even when the sat receiver is on? |

Yes. You would connect the A/V outputs of the receiver to the modulator and then connect the modulator to one of the OUT ports of a 2-way splitter. The OTA cable that comes in would connect to a 2-way splitter, with 1 leg going to the sat receiver and the other leg going to the other OUT port of the 2-way splitter that the modulator is connected to. The IN port would then go to the outlet that is homerun to the distribution center where all of the outlets are run to. That cable then connects to the IN of the distribution splitter. Every outlet then has all of the locals plus the sat receiver on whatever channel you modulated it to.

| Thank you so much eblcb. I guess this is the way to go. Googleing for UHF modulators I see that ChannelPlus makes also RF mudolators; what is the difference versus UHF modulator? |
