[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 629204, member: 176256"] You're already up to three satellite receivers so fitting a quad will only give you the capacity for four in total. In addition, if you decide to get a PVR (personal video recorder) such as a Freesat HDR or $ly+ these require two feeds from an LNB so suddenly you've used all your feeds! It might be a better idea to use a quattro LNB and a multiswitch. A multiswitch combines the satellite signal with a terrestrial signal and then, depending on how many outputs the mutiswitch has, can be piped round the house to all your rooms. They are available with varying numbers of outputs, (8, 12, 16, 20 etc) so you should find one to suit. I supose that theoretically you could use a stacker/destacker to combine two of the multiswitch ouputs down one cable but frankly I'm with Topper on this and would dive in with extra cables around the place. I would also put double cables to your salle de sejour just in case you do decide to go the PVR route. [/QUOTE]
