[QUOTE="eubster, post: 643178, member: 305966"] Hi all, I'm a long time follower but pretty new poster so bear with me:) I need some help with a multiswitch setup I'm trying to install. Sorry for the long post, but I hope it will avoid lots of questions. I'm based in Southern France watching free to air UK channels and French Terrestrial digital TV.
