Sky + with one cable question

Hi

i currently have plain ordinary sky with a cable from my dish on the roof
into my attic and down to my living room.

The cable is plastered in and while I am keen on getting sky + I am very
loth to put a new channel up the wall.

Jomtien mentioned a few weeks ago that it might be possible to get around
this and after a bit of surfing
I think I have found a solution.

1/ get sky + installed, but in preparation I would pre install a Diplexor in
the attic to combine the signals from the new LNB.
2/ fit same in living room to do same in reverse before going into new sky +
box

The question is , has any one else done this or similar
and will it work ??


Cheers

The people who make that thing I saw certainly think that it works. I
would expect some loss of signal but as long as it is strong enough to
start with that shouldn't be a problem.

That's the one. Been wracking my feeble brain for weeks for the name.
IIRC they are about £150.

No, but I know a man who can (and did). Thanks to him.
