The eight way LNBs are not normally as sensitive as the good singles and you're also going through the DiseqC unit, but if the cable runs are only 25 metres, shouldn't be a problem. Obviously if you're going to use Quads you'll need two dishes.The earth connectors can go down stream of the DiseqC units as long as you have a relatively short run to the main earth, they're not expensive, so not that important whether you use 8 or 16.The cable count cannot be smaller than the number of apartments served, because each apartment needs total control of one DiseqC unit and 2 LNBs. If you want to limit the number of down cables coming through the roof to 8, you will need to use external DiseqC units.Rolf</blockquote>
