Can members please assist or direct me to a posting with a wiring diagram covering a unit of 10 flats
at ground level.
The unit will have 3 satellite dishes on top of the roof pointing to 3 different satellites.The occupants
will have access to any of the 3 services or 2 or 3 as they desire.
There must be only one connecting point in each flat and i require in detail what the set up will be.

That's really a professional installation you're talking about there. We are an enthusiasts' forum and, although we do have professional installers as members, there are certainly no ready prepared plans available.

In general what you're talking about will require three quattro LNBs feeding into a multiswitch and then to the apartments concerned. The satellite receivers will have to be set up to "see" a Diseqc switch so as to be able to choose which satellite is needed. The big difficulty comes with setting this all up so that it works and that's where a professional installer is needed.

You really need to find someone local to quote for this.

Thanks.
It is not clear to me what is meant by to "see" a diseqc switch
Should a diseqc switch not be fitted between the LNB,s and the multi switch?

The "Multi switch" is a Diseqc switch, the satellite receivers need to be set to use Diseqc 1.0, 1.1 or 2.0 commands.

First off you would start with the LNB's mentioned by PaulR, then use something like the multi switch in the link below, then run coax from it to all apartments, the last step is the tricky one, and if you have never done a big job like that then it should be farmed out to a pro.

As above, we cannot really advise on system design or provide drawings on a commercial level.
