[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1145817, member: 176704"] My own experience with EMP-Centauri kit is that it has good installation instructions, works well and seems very reliable, AND has [I]very[/I] good tech support, but it's not anywhere the cheapest on the market (and so it's a pity that there appear to be very few UK suppliers that I know of) OTOH, it should be easier and probably cheaper for you in the EU to buy their kit than for us in the UK. FWIW, my S16/1PCP-W3 16-1 switch still seems to run fine after just over 4 yrs, and multiple dish cable re-configurations. Do make sure you install any such switch so that rainwater can't get inside it and maybe put some silica gel bags inside the switch (if you can?) to mop up any moisture that does get in. The only slight reservation that I have with that switch is that the F-connectors are located quite close together and thus that it's difficult to wrap the "inner" connectors with self-amalgamating tape, and so I generally use something like this "[URL='https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/312204442959']Plasti Dip"[/URL] spray to waterproof them as it coats them quite nicely (and is easier to remove, should you need to) [/QUOTE]
