[QUOTE="pchappo, post: 748430, member: 368055"] hi all, i was wondering if you could take a look at my configuration, and make any suggestions for enhancements or improvements to the setup - also recommendations on satellite boxes would be good! [B]Premise[/B] I am currently a sky subscriber, I want to put tv aeriels and satellite recievers around the house (bedrooms / living room / kitchen etc). My initial solution was to replace existing Quad LNB with a quattro LNB and put this through a multiswitch - which would feed all of my rooms - using the a quadplex plate (feeds 2 satellite / 1 tv point / 1 dab point to all rooms required. This i have now achived. BUT ..... As part of the install of the new satellite dish and quattro lnb, the existing quad lnb was added onto a multi LNB holder, and pointed at the hotbird satellites (13e). [B]Equipment used[/B] - Triax 78cm dish - Labgear 5x16 multiswitch - 14 connections are used off this. - I have 2 networked switches which allows all bedrooms to have wired networking access - Dell FX160 Dual core atom processor with 2gb memory and 500gb hard disk (runs silent and low power) running ubuntu 11. Things i want to do:- - put a USB DVB-S onto the Dell machine, to allow the sharing of hotbird signals (i have a feed from the quad lnb for it) - also recieve the sky satellite - in each room that has a feed from the sky multiswitch put in a satellite (was thinking something like a dreambox etc) reciever that will allow me to: 1. recieve freesat etc from the sky multiswitch 2. Can they be configred to read the signals via the ethernet (internet) - so like stream the hotbird signals to these boxes? your thoughts and recommendations would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
