Was told by a friend of mine to fit all cables into wall while house was been done. ( which I thought sensible ) He recommended some stuff but it does not work the way I wanted it to.I have 8 rooms with tv capabilities. I have 3 cables to each room. 1 cable goes to single F type outlet for FREESAT HD ( 8 rooms) then I have 2 cables going to quadplex, labgear faceplates. Supposedly 3 signals down 1 cable ( 1 sat, TV, & DAB ) then 2nd cable is SAT 2 ( for sky +) So far so good.This is where its confusing.Got an 8 way Labgear Loftbox with inputs for LNB 1, LNB 2, TV, DAB etc etc. On outgoing side got 8 way distribution ( on loftbox) which does TV, DAB, CCTV etc then I have TRIPLEX output and LNB2 output.Now, He intended originally to take cable from dish to DAB input and send out via 8 ways on box down to the FREESAT faceplates. ( seems viable)LNB 1 & 2 inputs for SKY+ and TV into UHF. These a little more difficult. In theory the TV & LNB1 should go down the triplex and LNB2 on its own. However there is only 1 output for each on box. So to cure the problem, he said to get 2x 8 way splitters and  go from output triplex to 1 splitter then to each of the 8 points, then output lnb2 to splitter then to other 8 points. ( ideally this would work - BUT)Once you plug in more than 2 outputs onto the splitter, they all go off!!!Currently, I have 6 rooms with no TV at all and 2 rooms with connected directly to LNB on dish ( quad) and no FREESAT.Anyone any idea how I can get this to work? re channeling walls to put extra cables in really is not an option.I have no idea what they do but would it work if the splitters were changed for multiswitches???If anyone has any ideas please post, I would be very grateful as I have emailed labgear, taylor bros and televes and not had a single reply.If you can recommend any parts that will do the job please let me know.Thank you in advance.Kind RegardsJames  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite14" alt=":-doh" title="DOH!    :-doh" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":-doh" />2</blockquote>
