[QUOTE="A nonymous, post: 883920, member: 240839"] You can use a Vision V5-508 switch with a quattro lnb , you will be able to increase the power output on those switches by 10dB on sat so signal strength loss isn't an issue. It also compensates for signal loss due to the length of cable as the ports don't all output the same strength of signal. If i recall correctly the top four outputs signal strength approximately 2dB higher than the bottom ones. If the dish is 15m away it won't be a problem. I have used these switches before with a run of 40m between switch and dish with very few problems. Most receivers these days will handle a signal strength as low as 55dB and still lock ok so there is a huge signal margin with these switches. You can also add a DVB-T TV signal into the mix also. The TV & Sat signal can be split up at the wall plate. If outside of the UK you can use Terra branded switches which are the same units. They are identical switches made in the same factory by the same company, they just badged as Terra rather than Vision for use outside of the UK. They are available as a V5-508 or a V5-508MP (mains powered). The V5-508 uses a remote 18v PSU which can be placed anywhere and the power can be supplied through a run of coax cable. The receiver connected will see the output port as an individual lnb output so a different channel on a different polarities and on a different local oscillator can be watched from a receiver connected to one port whilst a different channel is watched on another receiver connected to another port. I have built systems using multiples of this brand of switch that have fed over a 100 properties from one quatrro lnb and one aerial so there shouldn't be any issues with how you are looking to setup your system. If you wish to add two different satellite positions you can use a V9-908 which will allow you to connect two quatrro lnbs into the system so you could have 28.2e and 19.2e down the same cable. The receiver will need to support DISEqC 1.0 commands to utilise this type of switch. Receivers without DISEqC will only be able to use the sat/lnb connected to the input A on the switch. The sat/lnb connected to input B will only work if the receiver can send DISEqC commands. [ATTACH=full]64608[/ATTACH] Nano [/QUOTE]
