    Sorry to sound greedy but trying to keep all the family happy!! Have a HD box and Sky + box using the 4 outlets of the Quad LNB but have a FreeSat box as well. Is it possible to watch all 3 at the same time on different teles without a family fight!!! I could live without the freeze or record on the Sky + box if need be!!!! Such are the probs of trying to keep all of the family happy all of of the time!!!

    Get an LNB with multiple out puts ie, an octo lnb will have 8 outputs
    1 output is needed to view, 2 will be needed if you want to record.

    So, run 2 cables to your sky plus box,
    then run 1 or 2 more to each other box you want in the house.

    I have a slight;y differnt setup,
    I have a Quattro LNB, that has 4 outputs Vert High, Vert Low, Hor High, Hor Low.
    These 4 cables run to a multiswitch, which in turn has 16 outputs.
    I run 2 cables each to 8 rooms. It allows me to have a recordable box (pvr) in every room if i so wish.

    Hope that makes sense.. it might be a lot to take in.
