Could anyone make recommendations for connecting a TV+ twin Sats set up to a wall socket? Not as trivial as I thought.

My set up will consist of a UHF aerial and a satellite with two twin LNBs (for 28.2E and 19.2E) to a single receiver (vu+ solo2). So I expect 3 cables as “input” to the wall plate (1 UHF and 2 x Sats). I looked for wall plates where I would connect each cable directly to its own socket (so x1 Coax and x2 F connectors) but only came across plates for triplexed / quadplexed signals, e.g., Antiference SW750 / MW750 or Triax Quad/304109. These plates seem to require first combining all signals and feeding them through a single cable. Then typically these plates take two inputs: the first feed is split as UHF + Sat + DAB/FM while the second is the untouched Sat feed.

Questions are:

  • What are the pros and cons of combining and then splitting signals in such a way? Is the resulting signal degradation “noticeable"?
  • Do the type of plates I was looking for actually exist (three inputs and three outputs)?
  • My set up will resemble that of a typical Sky+ set up (I think?), with two identical satellite feeds using their own cable (and a separate UHF cable). So should I use one the plates described as “designed for use on Sky+”, such as the Triax Sat II (304114) instead?

Any advice will be welcome.

Many thanks,

The typical satelite wall plate available form woodies doesn't work. Fortunately my brother lives in same building so I borrowed his wallplate and it works fine in my appartment.

There seems to be a circuit board with a lot more bobs and bits than on the basic woodies one (yes I know I'm getting all technical :D)

Would anyone know where these are called or where they can be got?

Only clues on it was the plate was made by Wolsey and the circuit board had a number CDO-SW-1/J1-3

Thanks]]>
