[QUOTE="michaelcs, post: 553744, member: 297253"] I'm really interested in this thread as tomorrow we are running new cables from the aerial and dish which are situated close together on a roof. I need to get the aerial supply to four different floors of the building, and the dish supply (twin LNB) to two of those floors. Was planning to run three completely separate cables, two for the dish (one to each floor that's to have its own receiver) and a third for the aerial cables. Is this the experts' preferred solution, or would you recommend running a) one cable, looping in and out at each floor (but how could that work for a twin LNB?) b) two cables - one straight from dish to main receiving room, and the other with external diplexer on the roof and then down the house looping in/out, with an internal diplexer at each dual face plate (ie 1 external diplexer and 4 internal?) Forgive this absolutely basic ignorance. c) three cables I have enough cable for c) and it's a one-off chance to lay the cables I need for futureproofing - but if diplexers work well it's a better/cheaper solution at roughly £7 each....
