[QUOTE="BilliumB, post: 589030, member: 315704"] Thanks for the replies (I would have got back to you all earlier, but have not been able to get onto the site). You say that I need a 60cm dish to use with a quattro and multiswitch - is this due to losses in the switch (are these very significant), or is a quattro less sensitive than other sorts of LNB, os is a sky type dish simply too small for any reliable system? I was wondering if using low loss cable (I suppose with a larger centre core) would enable me to use a smaller dish. Am I wasting my time thinking along these lines? I had assumed that setting up a multiswitch would be a simple matter of connecting the cables to the correct ports - am I mistaken. I can see that if the signal level of the S/N ratio is too poor, then I'll have problems with any system (that was why I was wondering whether a meter of some sort would be useful in ensuring I had a perfectly aligned dish in the first place). I think in summary, that your advice is use a 60cm dish with PF100 cable and everything should be OK, but use a smaller dish and I'll have problems - is this correct? Thanks Bill [/QUOTE]
