    All,

    I have a dish mounted on my garage and 3 cables into the house. The thing is that I have 3 boxes and a Pc sat card to connect to.
    I know the issue with horizontal and vertical but is there a device that I can take a horisontal feed and a vertical feed to the house and connect 4 sat connections to take horisontal feed or a vertical feed as reqiured.

    It's a bit more complex than that now.

    LNB's nowadays have 4 states:
    Horizontal High
    Horizontal Low
    Vertical High
    Vertical Low

    So you'd still need 4 cables coming across from garage to distribution point. From there then you could use a Multiswitch. These take an input for each of the 4 LNB states, and then feed the settop boxes or PC cards. It's possible to get multiswitches with various amounts of outputs, like 8 outputs, 12, etc.

    The first LNB can be a Quad or a Quattro.
    Up to 16 outlets and up to 4 satellites & TV aerial (analogue or DTT) or cable TV. Depending on Model.

    Load of people make them. There are triax ones but less features and more expensive.
