    Can anyone recommend a way of combining a Saorview signal and an analogue signal from a Sky box (with 5v pass through) onto one cable? I have Googled but cannot seem to find a solution. Thanks in advance...

    Is the sky box output signal an rf modulated signal? if so what channel is it on? if its sufficiently different to the saorview channels, a simple splitter/combiner Y should do the trick.

    Is it not just a case of simply putting the Saorview feed into the RF in terminal on the skybox and the RF out then carries the Saorview signal and the Skybox signal on whatever RF channel you've selected it to be on.

    I am indeed. Its using Ch36. Saorview is on Chs 55 and 59. One of these lads? https://www.amazon.co.uk/High-Quality-Coaxial-Aerial-Splitter-White/dp/B004BLU4IW Would that allow the 5v to pass through to allow me to control the Sky box?

    You don't need that if you have an RF aerial input at the rear of the Sky box, the box combines the Saorview digital and Sky analogue signal on the single RF out cable.
