dual sat/tv outlet.

Anyone wired a labgear(psw123) sat and tv outlet. Its obvious where the core goes for the sat , and the screening for both cables..but no clue to the tv core.Had a quick look at the labgear site to no effect. Sky bloke came to fit sat today,and I hoped he knew.."never seen one like that"


That's a diplexed outlet plate. It expects all the signals to be on one cable. You either need to diplex the satellite and terrestrial signals together first[*], or use a separate single F-connector plate for satellite (or double for Sky+ or Freesat PVR use).

[*] This needs a high-performance diplexer (high isolation from the SAT port in the UHF band) otherwise amplified wideband noise from the LNB will degrade the S/N ratio of the off-air terrestrial TV signals.

Thanks youfor reply. Makes sense straight away. Never done anything with sats.
