Default Freeview, DAB and FM aerial on one mast

Hi

I'm planning on getting a Freeview TV. This will be the first TV I've had
in six years. I'm getting clearer about the actual TV I want and generally
I'm feeling quite good about that part.

The question really is what to do about radio. Currently I have a rather
good FM tuner in my living room and a Tivoli radio in my bedroom. Both of
these get the signal from a single FM aerial on a mast on my roof.

The FM aerial is an FM1083 Antiference all the cabling is CT100.

To get Freeview I want to put up an aerial suitable for DTT. If I want to
stick with the FM tuner then it's easy, I've learned that all I need to do
is use a diplexer. However, while I'm up on my roof it has occurred to me
that I should put a DAB aerial up there as well. This would mean that I'd
be completely covered, pretty much. If I decide to get a DAB radio then
I'll have the aerial already there.

So, my question is: can I put the signals from the three aerials down the
single CT100 cable?

For this would I need two diplexers or something?

Yes.
Triplexers are made for the purpose, but if you are cabling
several rooms, then separate cables from the aerials to a loftbox
distribution amplifier might be more logical.
