Combining Virgin media broadband/Phone signal and satellite feed

    Hi, I am with Virgin Media for broadband and Homephone. They have a cable going to a wallplate in my sitting room with a splitter on the wallplate feeding the router and the tv. They have cut-off the analogue signal in my area recently so I have lost all of the tv channels. I have a separate terrestrial feed to this location, so I am ok for the saorview channels.
    I have a satellite dish with a quad Lnb, with one feed off it going to another tv which also has a separate terrestrial feed. My query is, can I run a second feed from the satellite dish up into the attic and somehow combine it with the virgin media broadband/Homephone signal by way of a splitter and run the combined signals down the one existing cable to the wallplate and using the existing splitter that end to feed it to the router and tv.

    Is this possible, does anyone know if this will work? It would just mean I don't have to feed a longer cable run and drill through the exterior wall.

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    I wouldn't touch Virgin's cable. Can you not combine satellite onto the terrestrial feed to this TV?

    Use one of these at each end. (The TV end can be in a wallplate.)
