    I have a 1.0m dish fited with a quatro LNB. This feeds into a Triax multi-switch and into a number of Sky boxes, some with cards.
    As I run a small B&B, i would like to provide some French, Spanish, German channels if asked.
    Is there a satellite box that I could add to my system to do this?
    Hope my question is not too vague, but I know that some of you will have the answer.

    you need to modify your dish.

    add a bracket to hold another LNB or two.

    usually people add Astra 1 and Hotbird.

    You also need a switch on the dish called a disecq for instant switching between satellites.

    Your Sky boxes will need to be changed too.

    Hi Pal,

    Sounds like that is more than I need. I have 5 Sky boxes stacked on top of each other and outputs to each room. If I get, say a French guest, I would like to be able to send some French channels to his room. The other people would still need to be able to use their Sky box.
