Hi
Hope I've posted in the right place.

For some time now I have used VM's analogue feed to replace a poor quality terrestial aerial. However, since 1st October VM have started switching this off (only get BBC1 and ITV1 now).

I have decide to give Freesat a go (in addition to VM TV). After much research, I have decided to try a self-install.

I have one question I'm hoping someone can answer. Is it possible (or even, is it advisable) to combine the cable from the dish to the Freesat STB, with the VM cable running from outside the house to the VM STB, using diplexers?

Any advice gratefully received, before I make a complete fool of myself, and "'er indoors" says "I told you so!"

TIA
