[QUOTE="davemurgtroyd, post: 952382, member: 319227"] Unlikely as the downconverted band has been moved mostly downwards to 230 MHz to 2350 MHZ - "Standard" is around 1000 to 2000 MHz (can't remember exact figures at present). Raising top frequency would cause problems. You have completely the wrong idea here - the Sky box tunes individual TV channels and distributes 2 at present to other boxes it does NOT replicate the lnb functions and is only tuners controlled remotely from the slave boxes. This is NOT a system for distributing satellite lnb signals but merely TV channels derived from them. Optical fibre lnbs (at around £60 to £70) exist with a single fibre output (that carries the whole band and both polarisations) that can be split up to 32 ways (some installers claim 64) in domestic/small installations (communal installs can go a lot higher) using simple optical splitters and is a relatively simple way to distribute to many rooms and can also be used to feed present standard receivers (and even feed multiswitches) by merely using simple optical to RF converters.
