How to Stack HDTV Antennas

Diplexers are designed to make signal combining over coaxial cable easy. For users of multiple antennas heading to a single tuner or decoder, these devices are ideal. Working like a reverse splitter, diplexers take multiple inputs from antennas, satellites and cable sources and combine them to one coaxial output. Inexpensive and usually high-quality, diplexers make the installation process far easier. Instead of running multiple bulky RG-6 coaxial cable leads, a well-placed diplexer makes the installation simpler.

• 1

  Locate the individual antenna leads, usually found in the attic or basement.

• 2

  Screw the individual leads into the clustered "IN" legs on the diplexer.

• 3

  Screw the single coaxial output to the single "OUT" on the diplexer. Route this cable to the tuner or decoder.
