Octo Lnb and Multiswitch

jasgrif11

Hi All,

Currently nearing the build of my house. I ran 2 sat cables from most rooms back to the attic and when installing sky I would like to have 2 X sky + boxes and 2 normal sky (well fta). Whats the best distribution system I should get for my attic and also do I need an Octo Lnb?

Also how does the distribution system work and what kind of prices are we talking?

Many Thanks

Tony

You can use either an octo lnb or a quattro with a multiswitch

Anyone used these before any comments? Can anyone recommend a multiswitch and quattro or a place that sells them

Cheers

As Tony already stated a quattro Lnb and a multiswitch is the way to go.Depending on the multiswitch you purchase some will allow you to connect up a terrestrial aerial as well and allow it to pass through which is handy.

I recommend triax multiswitches as there realible and reasonably priced.

Heres a link to help you on your way,

I find Alcad multiswitches reliable also.

Still... above link offers a free head lamp. What's to think about?

Check out EMP-Centauri I've used a good lot of them.
