    Cable running directly from the LNB at the centre of the dish to the new box.

    But without an extra multiroom subscription, it'll only have the free-to-air channels, right?

    aren't combiners available so you dont have to run cable all the way from the LNB?

    No - the receiver needs to be able to send voltages and signals to control the LNB, so you need a dedicated run.

    Only in a apartment-type setup will you have cables running to a multiswitch which then leads to a quattro (not quad) LNB. For a domestic installation you will have a quad or octo LNB which feeds up to four/eight tuners, each on a dedicated cable.
