[QUOTE="Cupotea, post: 1165517, member: 421177"] Hi all, Hoping to get some info in this minefield! Pic attached to help provide context [B]What I need[/B] View freesat channels on all tvs [B]Context[/B] Have 4 tvs, 1st tv has freesat, 2nd tv will eventually use freesat box (freesat box isn’t currently used). 3rd tv is stream only. Would like to use my freesat box, and old sky box (left behind by previous owner along with 4th tv) [B]My home[/B] • A total of 6 cables from the external Antenna & Sat Dish go into the loft. 2 cables are from Antennas & 4 are Sat cables. 2 Sat cables go to another part of the loft. This might go to another bedroom (or maybe nextdoor, but unlikely right?) • Unsure if all cables go directly into cellar • Currently each bedroom has coax cable coming out of the wall • Signal quality is generally average/low • One of the Antenna cables has bad signal [B]Questions:[/B] • How best to use my existing satellite dish/antenna to send signal to 4 tvs? • Am assuming I need some sort of satellite distribution amp, what do I need to look out for? • Does the frequencies range matter? • Does the freesat box really need antenna cable going into it? • Will the above distribution amp work for my requirements or do I need a different one? • Im thinking about plugging all existing Antenna/Sat cables into 2x diplexers then plugging the diplexors into the distribution amp. then taking the cables to all tvs/stbs. Will this work, is there a better budget conscience method? [B]I think I Need to buy:[/B] • Distribution Amp (which one and ideally lowest price) • Di, Tri, Quadplexer, and how many? • F-Type Cables/Connectors • Anything else? [/QUOTE]
