[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 917278, member: 196043"] If the cables are already fitted then you need to make sure they are decent satellite grade quality, especially for longer runs. Satellite cable will have foil around the centre insulator as well as the usual copper braid, which is usually standard these days but our house still has the standard "TV aerial" cable embedded in the walls. I don't know enough about that multiswitch, but I would have thought two cables would be enough for each room, one cable carrying satellite and freeview combined, and another cable for a second satellite feed (it's not easy or very efficient to combine two satellite feeds in one cable, but combining freeview and satellite is quite standard although it does create a little more loss).
