Diplexers

[basshive]

Does anyone know of any places locally aside from RadioShack and HomeDepot/Menards that sell diplexers locally? By local I mean remotely close to Milwaukee/Kenosha/Racine.  They can be had online for 3-4$ a piece but I would like to get some locally to make sure my application is even going to work before I order online and get stuck with them

Not sure of their price, but I get a bunch of stuff from Marmax.  They are in Franklin on Rawson Ave.

They are a distributor for installers I think and have quite a bit of inventory.  I have gotten my OTA antenna supplies there as well.

Even better, I can check to see if I have some extras laying around that you could use since we must live nearby.

That is awesome. I would gladly pay obviously I was driving around the other and saw a Dish installer at someones home and I thought it might be you adding yet more services!

Had great success on this front yesturday. Ran to marmax (http://www.marmaxdistribution.com/) and picked up 4 diplexers for 4.50$. What a great shop!!!

The only technical issue I had was I managed to install the D* BBC backwards so I was getting all the TWC channels on the tv but the HR-21 was saying no signal. Finally figured out I had the BBC backwards, flipped it around and bang! D* and TWC on the same cable to the living room then split back apart when they get to the tv. Now I have a backup for bad weather until I get an OTA solution in place. TV scanned and picked up 80 or so analog cable channels and all the open QAM channels.


4 Sat lines in to multiswitch, bbc off multiswitch to diplexer, twc line to diplexer, one line to living room, diplexer in living room to split to tv and HR-21.

Thanks to Nick for the technical advise and explanations.
