    Hi is it possible to combine a feed from a lnb and the output single from a sky box via magic eye over the one cable to a tv before splitting into two cables. I have done it with a lnb feed and single from the roof antenna, but would the power feed from the magic eye damage the lnb. Thanks

    The satellite/terrestrial diplexer won't pass power on the terrestrial side, so you'd need a separate power supply at the 'magic eye'.

    Some info. here.

    I have done this successfully before using 2x sat/uhf duplexer/splitters and a masthead amp PSU after the output of the splitter powering the magic eye.
    !2V rather than the nominal 9V required by the magic eye , but does not seem to matter.
    I must get a couple of 9v power inserters and PSUs and throw them in the van
