[QUOTE="Kik, post: 619795, member: 326870"] Hi all first ever post on any forum so bare with me I have been renovating my house for a few years and basically have a sky and sky plus down stairs with uhf feed going through video and dvd player (yes found a uhf out one) these feed up stairs to an antifernce 260l distribution box as i have been renovating rooms i have run a satellite grade cable to each room and added a tv point where all of the downstairs equipment can be viewed The last room i have to renovate is where the source equipment is when i renovated the room above i added a octo lnb to my standard sky dish and as the dish is on the wall at the same level as the floorboards in the upstairs room I removed all the cables from the ouside of my house and have run the cables through the floorboards and trunked down the internal wall this uses 4 of the lnb outputs as have used the hd100 dual cable and have allowed for addition of a hd freesat box in the future I was very pleased with this until i looked at upgrading my antiference box to one that supports magic eye (fed up of walking downstairs to change sky) I have now found out about multi switches and as far as I can tell i could use the remaing four lnb's to feed a multi switch that supports quad but not quattro (someone needs to make an octo that is half quad half quattro maybe) I know i could use the four lnbs to feed 4 rooms but a) i have 7 and b) the cable run to the location of the distribution box is very close c) all the cables to the tv ports are plastered into nice newly decorated walls in theory i think i need a 5 in 8 out quad friendly switch that will take the uhf feed from current system and the remote eye signal and send it down to nice MK triplexors (has to be mk socket anything else looks crap) for me to then attach all sorts of goodies My question to you learned people is which switch is going to do that Many thanks Carl [/QUOTE]
