[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1050482"] Yes, I know, that's not what I meant. The point is that the multiswitch is unlikely to deteriorate the signal much, only dampen it slightly (at worst). As long as the noise floor of the multiswitch is below the noise level of the signal coming from the LNB, the STB will manage compensate by amplifying the incoming signal before A/D conversion (after the tuner). Therefore, if you have reasonable signal before inserting a multiswitch, you should have one after as well. (Unless there's something wrong with the multiswitch.) Do you have measurements on the C/N ratio of your current reception? Do you know how "fringe" you are? If you do have problems getting enough signal, getting a larger dish will make a much bigger improvement than trying out different multiswitches. The EMP MS9/8PIU-5 V10 is EUR 99 at satshop.tv. Shipping is normally something like EUR10-13 from them.
