Looking for some help on how to mix & match splitters or other devices to allow me to feed 2 or more sources (CATV and antenna) to 16 different outlets. I can see how to get the job done with a single source but I am not sure how to deal with adding a second/third source to the mix. Any good tutorials out there that I can read and determine how to get the job done?
Several questions:
1) If I use CATV and an external antenna as input sources, will the channel frequencies conflict with each other?
2) I have seen the 3x8 units from Leviton and it appears to me that they will allow me to feed 3 sources to 8 outlets. I assume I can use a 1x2 splitter to feed 2ea of the 3x8 splitters to get my signals out to 16 outlets.
3) I have also seen 1x16 splitters from Channel Vision. That suggest to me that I can use a 1x2 splitter in reverse as a CATV & antenna combiner and then feed the single output to the 1x16.
Am I anywhere close to the right approach? My new house has all the wire in place and I will need to come up with a distribution solution in a few weeks.
