[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 700741, member: 175057"] Multiswitches don't pass IR commands, so if you want to watch your main Sky source in the kitchen as well (and have ir control), then just run a cable direct from living room to kitchen. Then take two feeds from the multiswitch to each room where you want Sky plus, cabled into a triplexing plate with the second satellite feed. Your alternative is to use the multiswitch for the rooms which require sky plus and then a conventional IR pass amp to feed the other rooms, you can always feed the other Sky boxes into the system using a 4 way Sky digibox combiner. What outlet plates you can use will depend on whether you have double or single back boxes, connecting three coax cables to a single outlet plate is nigh on impossible, but you can get brush outlet plates, which allow the cable to pass straight through, using an "F" type diplexer to separate terrestrial and satellite on one feed, using the third cable for return from the digibox to the sky combiner.
