Satellite/UPC Broadband Cable splitter?

homer911 · 2013-03-25 10:48:44

Anyone know if its possible to use a single cable with splitters for both Satellite signal and UPC Broadband? I currently have two coax cables entering the house - the preferrred location for a new UPC connection is in use for Satellite, the alternative connection point is currently unused.. Thanks

Yes it can be done. You need TWO devices call Diplexers:

One goes outside and the other one goes inside, however I suspect UPC will simply drill a new hole and install the cable seperately. A seperate cable is a better option anyway.
