you can get a diplexer that combines the signal upstairs and another that
splits them back downstairs. You need to get one that will pass the DC
power from the satellite receiver to the LNA on the dish.

I have a requirement. I can only get in one cable inside my
apartment...Is there a way (any device) to combine 2 cables, the cable
tv cable and the satellite dish cable to just one cable that I can
connect to my tv input and the auto-detect will go thorugh the
frequencies to set up my channels.

Is this even possible..because I do not know what range of frequencies
do the satellite dish channels fall under.


See previous; the splitter / combiners do not pass DC normally. Thus bias
tees on both sides of each splitter / combiner.

splitters that pass dc (and low AC) on one leg are avalable
