Satellite mounted UHF/VHF antennas

Archived from groups: alt.satellite.tv (More info?)

Their is an antenna that will "slip" over the top of your eliptical dish.
With that in mind, you can add a signal combiner between the antenna and
your satellite cable to pipe into the house without having to run a new
wire. Once in the house, you can use another signal combiner to split the
two signals apart. If you are looking to over the air reception for tv, the
Directv Tivo units have a built in combiner switch. So, add a combiner at
the dish for the satellite signal and the OTA antenna, plug that one cable
into the Tivo unit, doesn't really matter which input, just make sure you
program your receiver correctly in the setup, antenna.
