<tt>My understanding is that you can, but you need pass filters to
prevent causing multi-path reception problems.<br>
<br>
Basically, get a pass filter for the 2 channels in one direction and
then you should be able to combine that with the 5 channels from the
other direction... If you're unlucky you might need a corresponding
notch filter on the 5 channel side -- or equivalently its own pass
filter for its 5 channels. This, of course, get much more complicated
if the channels are near each other in frequency.<br>
<br>
Disclaimer: I've never tried this myself, but I looked into it on
avsforum when setting up my attic antenna... In the end I decided to
only go with one set of stations to ease the complexity (and attic
space). I recommend searching around in avsforum's HDTV reception
forums for WAYYYY more knowledgable people than myself.<br>

Maybe so, but the 4228 is not omnidirectional. In fact, it's highly
directional with a 10-15 degree face.
But that leads me to a question I've been wondering. Suppose I have a
couple of antennae on my rooftop. Can I just combine them onto a
single coax with a splitter/combiner? If that works, is there any
practical limit on the number of antennae I can combine that way?
(I already combine my small-dish satellite signal with my off-air
antenna via a diplexor, but I'm thinking of an additional,
differently-oriented off-air antenna if I can do it without another
cable run.)
