Multi_switch coupled with DiSEqC switch?

[lcmsd]

Since I got many helps from this forum yesterday. I want to ask a question here before I climb the ladder again.

I have two single standard LNBFs mount on one dish and I can get signals from two different satellite at the same time. Currently I am using a Diseqc switch to choose the signals. (both the signals from the two satellite are Horizontal).

I want to using a multi switch to couple the antenna signal with the satellite signal into one cable, so I can have local news too. What I am thinking is that I put the 3x4 multi-switch between the Diseqc switch and the reciever, connect the output from the Diseqc to the 18V Sat input of the multi-switch. Is it doable? Can I still use the reciever to control the Diseqc switch? :?:

I don't know if you can use the 3x4 switch to merge the ota with signal from the lnbfs. But using 2 diplexers will work

Setup:
both lnbfs connected to diseqc, out put of diseqc connected to sat input of diplexer, ota connected to u/v ant input of diplexer, output of the 1st diplexer to the input of the 2nd diplexer, sat output of 2nd diplexer to receiver, ant output of 2nd diplexer to TV. Remember, using multiple switches will degrade the signal quality/strength.

Thanks a lot. I think I can try different settings :lol:
