Hi
(I have a triplex (Labgear psw351t) socket that I would like to use in my lounge, with a slave bt socket and 2 satellite sockets, 1 fm, 1DAB, and 1 return.

One of the connections for the satellite is direct from the LNB, the other needs to be a triplex connection, to supply the remaining outlets.

I have 2 direct satellite feeds already to the lounge, the only reason I want to use this socket is to reduce the number of wall boxes.)

I question is, if I connect the coax, from the LNB, into the connection which is supposed to be triplex, will my SKY+ box get a signal. I don't need DAB or FM.
TIA
Bob
 
It'll work fine (nice socket BTW)

Obviously you won't get the other signals that should have been triplex'd in, but it'll work.

Don't forget to use a deep (35mm at least) backbox, coax -especially satellite stuff isn't too bendy. Nor does it like being bent.
