[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 1073725, member: 176256"] You know what I would like to do in your situation then? If (big IF) I could get a multiswitch that was guaranteed to work with Quad [B][I]and [/I][/B]Quattro LNBs I would use the $ly legacy LNB. I'd run two cables to the main room (via the attic running near to multiswitch) for the Q and the other four to the multiswitch (plus terrestrial aerial input) in the attic with as many feeds from the multiswitch as it will support to all rooms (including the main room) in the house. Ideally that would be two to each room as although you may not like or want Freesat at the moment things can change and it's far easier to pull two cables through now. Freeview/Youview STBs only need one input as they simply loop the two tuners together (either internally or externally) if they are also recorders. At a basic minimum I think you're almost there. Current multiswitch just being used as a distribution/amplifier (DA) for the terrestrial signals into rooms. Two feeds from the $ly LNB into the main room via the attic for the Q. But I'd go just that little further for future flexibility by taking the other four leads from the $ly LNB into the attic just in case for the future. Apologies for that. It's not attitude but one (one of many) standing jokes on the forum and it references back to the TV series Dad's Army. We sometimes forget that new members might realise that. No malice meant at all. [/QUOTE]
