[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1050267"] By strange coincidence, I've had almost those two switches in my setup. I had a EMP Centauri MS5/12PIU-5 for two years and a bit, then swapped in the Goobay MS-908PQ about a year ago. See here: [URL="https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/my-regional-sat-catv-head-end.166835/post-1033918"]My regional Sat-CATV head-end[/URL] the only reason I swapped was to get input from two sats rather than one. The EMP are really nice, and work(s) flawlessly. I still have it, and will use it for something else. The Goobay/Wenntronic I was a bit sceptical about, but that too performs well. I used to pass cable TV through the "terrestrial" input - this worked well for all outlets in the house. Recently, I quit cable TV, and so now I am using terrestrial instead, and this works well too (on the Goobay). I should say, however, that before the EMP ProfiLine, I had an EMP EconomyLine switch *without* amplification of the terrestrial input. As you can see from the picture in the above link, I pass the signal through multiple splitters and combiners. The Economy line EMP with no amplification was not enough for distributing a good signal. That is why I went for the MS5/12PIU-5. This is not, however, a fault of EMP, but just a fact of signal loss through multiple connectors and splitters/combiners. So to answer your question: I think both work well on SATs, but the EMP has amplification on the terrestrial input. If you use the terrestrial input, and have a small antenna and/or multiple splitters/combiners in the signal path, you should go for the amplified EMP. [/QUOTE]
