    Hi Lads,
    I have sky + and a quad lnb but also 3 fta recievers to feed.

    Is there a way to do this?

    Could i for example join 1 cable to another so that both recievers can change the channels?as 1 is upstairs in bedroom for night time viewing and 1 is downstairs used during the day.

    All the fta points come into the hot press and are all together if this helps?

    Regards,
    Kieran

    Uhm, it'll be a bit awkward.

    Personally, I'd recommend either changing the quad LNB for an Octo (8 outputs) or putting in a 6x Multiswitch that can handle a quad LNB (as opposed to a Quattro).

    In theory you can loop the IF output from one receiver to the IF input of the other, where one will have full control when the other is in standby. This may not work properly on all receivers though.
