Freeview with RTE analogue?

    Has any one tried to get freeview with their RTE & BBC aerials linked via a diplixer?
    About a year ago I had a Daewoo DT608SP prototype for field trials which worked quite well most of the time. At that time however the ITV/CH4 Mux was tx'ing at the higher data rate and so the rx on those channels was prone to break up.
    The main problem though was with the Mux at the upper end of the band (Sky News etc). As the low pass filter at the BBC/ITV side of the diplixer was filtering out everything above analogue ch 34. I'm about 20 Kliks NE of Newry and receive the UK channels from Divis and RTE from Claremont Carn. As I'm now considering the move to digital I would like to hear from anyone else who has encountered/ sorted this problem. FTA satelitte is a rather expensive option and it would much too big a scrape on my heart to subscribe to Mr. Murdock's channels, any ideas anyone?

    Freeview feom divis uses Channels 21-48 (group K)
    Claremont Analouge uses 52-68 (group C/D)
    so you need a diplexer that can deal with these ranges

    failing that youll need channelsed filters

    Triax "5052" combiner, one leg 21-50, other leg 52-69
