Filks,
I've purchased a Philips Multi-switch SDW5058 5 x 8 which allows for the multipplexing of both the incoming Sat signals and a separate cable TV signal (or High Speed internet - depending on frequency). The manual (and web support) is meager at best so I have a question when using the 5th (Cable) input.
It advises to use a Diplexer (below) to separate the signals at the TV prior to input into the respective cable /sat boxes.
If you don't want the "other" signal (Sat or TV) do you still need the device installed?
Thanks for the assist.
