[QUOTE="Topper, post: 536600, member: 186250"] I am not an installer and you therefore need advice from someone with experience of these fancy assemblies but to me you seem to be wanting to overcomplicate unnecessarily as I believe that unit is normally used in apartment block distribution and is not normally used in isolation but in combination with other equipment. However this is a specialist installation item not for the faint hearted even with sophisticated spectrum analysers to set it all up The simplest and most bullet proof method which provides the flexibility of being able to set up in any one of the four locations and the ability to have more than one sky + unit operating at any one time is to use as I previously suggested a quad or octo lnb and cable the outputs to your sockets One single lnb can only supply one polarity at one frequency and hence receive one channel at any one time, by sticking with one lnb you will have to record the channel you are watching which defeats the object completely. Sky plus needs a dual lnb ie two outputs so that you can record and watch two separate channels, thus two cables into the house. If you are never ever going to have more than one sky+ box in the house then what I have proposed will allow you to move the STB to any one of four locations and be able to record and watch different channels, it will even allow you to have more than one stb so that each can watch and record different channels to the other.
