[QUOTE="spiney, post: 154228, member: 192438"] to mike4t (again) ...... The best possible way of multi-distributing - cost not important - would be a small size cascade system using a high gain type launch amp, eg: [URL="http://www.spaun.de/html/sbk_5503_nf.html"]www.spaun.de/html/sbk_5503_nf.html[/URL] . After adding a single multitap unit, for 6 outputs, you'd then still have lots of gain "in hand". If doing this, don't forget the 75 ohm terminators (need to purchase, if not already included!). Reception isn't so much about absolute levels, but more about signal to noise ratio. Most lnbs have a fixed gain of approx 55dB, and if your dish then gives a "usable working level" of output signal, the SNR should - by default - also be acceptable. (added) hmmm ...
