    If you put two quads side by side, one will pickup a different satellite.

    You need either an Octo or else a 8 or 16 way Multiswitch (many will work with Quad or Quattro).

    Cause I only say Quads listed on Satilite.ie, and assumed it was the most that was available...

    You can get octos too, we stocked them in the past but there was very little demand so discontinued. Maybe try other suppliers in the sticky thread.

    you could always use a second dish

    octo would be cheaper than a quattro/quad + multiway switch
