[QUOTE="Kik, post: 621999, member: 326870"] Final update hopefully I have also found anti ference do a quad compatible multiswitch at about £170 any of the models that end in T I ordered the EMP p146-UP as was the mid range price it arrived next day Installation wise I first had to identify the four cables on the octo lnb running my existing sky systems downstairs had a 50/50 chance as knew had put all 4 together When identified I pulled 1 (shotgun) cable back in to the house I then taped the 2 new cables onto the end of the other cable popped outside shimmed up the ladder and pulled them through connected the f connectors and hooked all up to the lnb Drilled even more holes in the joists under the floorboards and run the cables back to the landing cupboard where the old amp is (put in two more cat5e whilst there) I thought rather than put all four cables straight into the new multiswitch i would bring my skybox and a portable tv upstairs and i then tested each cable worked. I then connected all four to the multiswitch and tested one of the outputs with the skybox all worked fine I then got the kids to turn on all the tv's and moved the feeds over one by one from the amp to the multi switch the multi switch has a built in attenuator on the antener feed which has given me a much better picture on channel5 only thing have noticed is the sky box UHF is a little wavy so I might try and change the channel it is transmitting on Last thing is it doesn't work with the magic eye [/QUOTE]
