Diplexers $5.60 at Shields Electronics

[Scarpozzi]

Just in case you don't know what a diplexer is...it's a small coax device that can put 2 coax signals on one piece of coax... This is handy for me cause I only have one coax line going to my living room. I didn't want to have to drill or run a second cable, so I went to radio shack to get 2 of these... They were $23 each! I'm not going to spend $46 on that, so I called around and found them at Shields for $5.60. The cheapest online price was out of a place in NJ and that was around $7.75....plus shipping with a minimum $25 order.

IMO this is hot.

too lazy to find the diplexer though

You can get like 3 on Ebay for $10. I also went to Radio Shack last month for a diplexer and found their prices on it to be a ripoff.

$2.38 ea, shipping not bad either

Even better! I bought 2 of them today at the $5 price... They work fine. I have the same clear picture I had before and am getting cable and sat on the same coax through the wall.

i don't know, my cable connection is real staticy when i run it through the diplexor, maybe i have crappy diplexors. it is rg-59 cabling on the inside of my house too, maybe that's the problem

 

[vfrjim]

RG59=Sux0rs , most likely the problem but I diplex Satellite signal with OTA HDTV signal with no problems with these diplexers

I wish I had seen this thread earlier, I initially bought two Trek diplexors at CircuitCity for $20 each. Which I returned and ordered from Buy.com for $9.19 each and thought that was a bargain.
