[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 549482, member: 256551"] Hi, To use a multi-switch, apart from some such as the EMP-Centauri models, you need a quattro rather than a quad LNB. Also with distribution systems it is reccomended to get a lightly larger dish than normal, to compensate for some of the extra losses you will get with a distribution system.
