Many thanks Rolf for prompt advice <img src="https://www.satellites.co.uk/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" />. I did prefer the third option thanks.  Further questions if that is okay. When you say – ‘Nothing to stop you sending 2 sky feeds around the system as well’. - could you explain further how to do this please. What would doing this achieve?My thoughts are do you mean connect the distribution unit's lnb 1 and 2 inputs and the down, uplink to the lounge room 1? If so I could use my old dish and receiver with this set up. How would this then connect to faceplates? Would I use a quadplex with return for the distribution unit and old sky receiver and then another modular with just sky 1 and sky 2 for the octo lnb cables off of dish 2 which will be new sky + receiver? Would it then mean that all rooms would receive only the sky channel being watched in room 1 the lounge distributed from the loft distributor and dish 1 with no option to change channel in rooms 2-8. (I suppose there is a way to overcome this if needed using a separate handylink IR distribution system).In other words I would have two systems the loft distributor to do it all with dish 1 sat, uhf, dab fm and CCTV with option of only same sky channel in each room and then a separate octo system with the ability to change channels as drawn in option 3.Gee I am now confusing myself lol. You probably have a simpler explanation! Or it may be easier not to do this!When you say – ‘You would need two RF modulators for the CCTV camera, or perhaps a 4 camera DVR with one modulator’ - I am really stuck on this one could you direct me towards a schematic for this layout?Thanks again in advance xxxx.Many thanks Nano, Keep going with the non-smoking I am a nurse and I so need to do it as well!<img src="https://www.satellites.co.uk/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" />I am limited with my knowledge on CCTV so I think I need to explore it further. Your advice has certainly set me in the right direction. I will update you when I have achieved it  xxx The only other things I still need help with are:- Question 7—Could you explain how to earth with the earth bonding I have completed a total rewire of non notifiable work under 17th edition within my house so shall I just run 4mm earth to consumer unit earth (will ask sparky just to connect)? Would all options need to be earthed? Question 10 — Do amplifiers use much electric?Finally and importantly if I cannot continue to afford the sky subscriptions will the receivers still be able to receive the free channels if I cancel contract after 1 year. Is this known as freesat?Thanks so much xxx.</blockquote>
