What diplexer with HR10-250?

[kennet6565]

I am using the Terk BDD-32, the Sat signal comes though but can't seem to get the OTA signal to work. I am using a 5x16 mulitswitch for sat and a quality splitter/amp for the OTA signal. All the HR10-250's in the living room have great OTA signals. Help, and thanks

Just how do you have the BDD-32 connected? And the OTA?

I'm also confused to whether you are getting an OTA signal?
You state in the first sentence that "can't seem to get the OTA signal to work" and then later "All the HR10-250's in the living room have great OTA signals." So just where are you missing OTA.

That BDD-32 probably isn't what you want. Your 5x8 multiswitch has an OTA input which diplexes the OTA onto all sat outputs. Then at each receiver where you need the OTA, you use a simple diplexer to separate the sat from the OTA.

I'm unfamiliar with the BDD-32, so exactly how does it work? The data sheet states that it combines two sat signals and the OTA and then has two outputs for use with two receivers. Does this unit stack the sat signals? And, if so then you need a destacker at the other end. ??????
