[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 1073704, member: 176256"] Well, I'm no expert, just a hobbyist. I have no experience of this Sly legacy Q LNB but if I've read Rolf's post correctly all the outputs can be either Universal LNB or wideband. So you could just cable up each room as required (two each room I would suggest) and let whatever STB is used sort out the handshaking with LNB. There's a lot of cable involved as you have to run six cables from the rooms all the way to the LNB. HOWEVER, because I'm a nerd (a professional would not do this!), I would just run an extra pair of cables from the LNB to where the multiswitch is currently situated. So you then have six cables through to the room/attic. Then I would use barrel connectors to connect up whichever existing and future planned cable runs go to whatever rooms. This gives you the flexibility to convert back to multiswitch in the future should you want to.I can't I'm afraid. The one time I tried to use a Quad LNB with a multiswitch that supposedly worked with both types it just didn't work properly. So I reverted to a Quattro and all was well. [/QUOTE]
