1 thru wall connector for- HD MPEG4 Receiver
1 thru wall connector for- HD MPEG4 HD- DVR
1 thru wall connector for- OTA
For a total of 3 through wall connectors?
I think, but am not sure, that one cable would work for HD-MPEG4 Recevr, OR DVR, but your DVR might have two inputs, so you would probably need two leads. You wil likely need a separate lead for each MPEG4 input, just as you do now with non-stacked signals.
And if they were not MPEG4 you could combine the
3 into one though wall connector?
No. Your list requires three, but not because of MPEG4. It is because one HD receiver and one HD DVR will require three satellite feeds. If there is no MPEG4, OTA HD could be diplexed onto one of those lines. Chances are that such a system would use a multiswitch, so the antenna signal would be diplexed onto all of the sat signals, but that's only because it is easier that way...and this is with NO MPEG4, but our current wiring methods.
I keep hearing that the MPEG4 is what is using the same frequencies as OTA HD, so if you don't have MPEG4, you can diplex OTA and satellite.
But if you don't have MPEG4, will you have any satellite service?
