[QUOTE="OldBen, post: 734801, member: 194242"] Ok, almost understand everything I need for simple multiswitch setup I want now, but final question relates to combining FM/DAB/TV aerials into multiswitch, I see two options: Option A: FM -> Triplexor DAB -> Triplexor UHF -> Amp -> Triplexor Triplexor -> multiswitch Option B: FM -> Amp DAB -> Amp UHF -> Amp Amp -> Multiswitch Which is the usual way to do it :confused: Won't be using a masthead amp, as apart from service issues, come switchover in 2012 possibly too much gain, although I need quite a bit of boost until then for UHF HD Mux. Plan to run all three aerial feeds into loftspace, then combine inside before running to multiswitch location also inside. My understanding is most multiswitches don't have terrestrial amplification (but do have loss) as they are usually with launch amps and what not so I do need some amping before multiswitch, do I need to amp FM/DAB as well?
