2 sat signals + one cable tv signal through 1 cable?

[frankxiv]

I have this directv multi-satellite dish. It has a built in multi-switch with four outputs. I want to connect two of these outputs to my Tivo receiver. The problem is that I would rather not have to drill holes from the attic and try to snake these cables through the wall. I would love to be able to use the cable that is already running from the attic for my cable television. Now, if I were only running one satellite cable then I could simply use two diplexers, one in the attic and one at the wall outlet.

However, that is where I need your help. Is there any way possible to get the signal from two satellite outputs and the cable television through that one cable?

Thanks, Frank

I suspect the Tivo can record one channel, and display another on the screen. Thus, 2 dish signal cables.

pmb;now that makes sense...but i don't think a diplexer will carry 2 sat signals.

Right you are, swamp A diplexer can't carry two satellite signals.

That won't work teo. DiSEqC switches are for FTA receivers. Also, he wants one coax to carry two sat signals at the same time, not switched. I don't think what he wants to do is possible.
