[QUOTE="chrisnia, post: 462996, member: 274325"] Thank you for the quick reply. I had to use the 4 output lnb's as I am going into a multiswitch. I was initially running 6 sat boxes and needed the multiswitch. Additionally, I did not want to split the signal at all due to prior experiences with low signal strength. It appears that 58-64 is the typical signal strength that installers here accomplish with cheap chinese single shield foam coax on 100' runs teminated with a connector you can buy 100 for $1.... SO in my desire to get over 90 signal strength and modulate and distribute to all tvs in the villa, I went with a multiswitch and 4 port lnb's. I just went back up on the roof (yes, at 4am) and took a pic of the nilesat LNB (just 2 portsin use) and the Hotbird lnb (all 4 ports used) If anyone understands the config in the DM500S LNB setup screens I would appreciate it. Oh, regarding the "mighty fine setup up" ...never underestimate what material posessions a willingness to get shot at can provide :)...Sad thing is, I can seem to get it to work right..:) [/QUOTE]
