Connection to SKyQ and terrestrial on two cables only.

[Channel Hopper]

A new build where the electrician has run two cables only to the roof, there is no other method of getting further cables out as all routes have been sealed.

Is there something similar to the 'stacker/destacker' system to run both widebands down one cable, or is there a device on the market that shifts the terrstrial frequencies into a different band (VHF? ) outside, and back up to UHF once near the distribution amplifier ?

This is a Crystal Palace location so only Group A channels need to be shifted out of the wideband group on one of the cables, around 110MHz

Thanks in advance

Unitron dCSS-422 or a dSCR LNB allows Sky Q (in SCR mode) to work with a single cable.

Can you not diplex the TV and Sat (V or H) on one of the leads? They are cheap enough to try. I used a similar method as the loftbox outputs 1-8 only do TV/FM and I wanted a sat output in the bedroom. The only sat option on the loftbox was to the lounge output.

Sky Q IF goes down to 290MHz (10700 - 10410 LO) so a simple diplexer won't work.

Use a Jahanss0n masthead SCR unti, accepts a wideband and terrestrial feed. Used several, great compact and easy solution, run into a diplexed plate, may need a power supply and inserter.
