<br>I don't want to hijack the OPs thread so I'll be glad to start a new thread. <br>
<br>Although my cable company is currently broadcasting the locals I'm having a problem picking them up, weak signal, etc.? I do have an external antenna in my attic as was suggested earlier but its getting no use since I only have a single input on my TV... <br>
<br>What is that kind of combiner called? is there some kind of problem with multiple local frequencies on the same cable, etc?</blockquote></div><br><br>I had not considered the interference issue before I posted about setups like this. You might be able to use a diplexer, those are used in satelite/OTA installs. I have no idea how they would behave with CATV setups though. You really should ask a CATV tech before connecting things like this up for the reasons posted already. You don't want to broadcast the CATV signal out your antenna. The FCC will be very annoyed with you if you do that. <br>
<br>Honestly, if you are paying for cable and can't get OTA channels to work properly, call your cable company. They are taking your money for something you aren't getting. A coax A-B switch is another idea, though you would probably want something you can automate as we are in the Myth list after all and you likely won't be sitting there to switch it for every recording. :) <br>
