[DIRECTV] DirecTV SWM sharing cable with signal from OTA antenna

In 2004 I saw a DirecTV installation where one of the cables from the DirecTV antenna shared the same cable as an OTA antenna using diplexers. This was when South Palm Beach County, Florida, had stations transmitting on NTSC channels 2 to 51. Can a DirecTV installation using a SWM share the same cable as an over the air antenna. Channel 2 in this area now transmits on what was formerly NTSC Channel 11, 198 - 204 MHz the lowest frequency used in this area.
