Diseqc switch with DVB-T input on Alien 2

[Teranoz]

I bought a diseqc switch that turned out to have an extra input for a DVB-T antenna. Does anyone have experience with this in combination with an amiko 2 about how to do the cables for it ?

Should I use a splitter 0-1300 MHz to split the signal from the switch into the DVB-T antennainput on the alien with an piece of coax having an F-connector and a normal tv-plug and the other part of the splitter into the sat input or is it more complicated than that.
And how about an DVB-T antenna with or without 5V ? does that influence the 12V from the sat input or does the 12V from the sat input blow up an active DVB-T antenna so I should use an old yagi (with impedance correction coax to prevent it from melting away the original balun or is a standard yagi balun strong enough for 12 V)

Or is it just better to use the DVB-T antenna seperated from the sat-coax ?

Does your Alien 2 have two DVB-S/S2 tuner or one DVB-S/S2 and one DVB-T tuner?
Because I know the triple comes with a DVB-T but not the Alien 2 unless you asked
to have DVB-T fitted specially.

If you do have DVB-T on your Alien it is best to keep signals and cables separate or
you will receive nothing.

I have the triple version (DVB-S2 + DVB-S2 + DVB-T)
I wanted that version, so I could have a satreceiver, a DVB-T receiver and a HD recorder into just one box.
