SkyQ prep - existing multiswitch setup, needs upgrading?

KeRbDoG · 2016-10-03 12:57:44

Hey folks, I currently have a multiswitch setup as I have various freesat/sky boxes around the house. I'm thinking of going for SkyQ but I've read to get the most out of it, you would need to have a unicable setup, and I've found this (I could get a lower port version) which seems to allow you to take a multiswitch input…

Nice to see the new setup working for you, OP.

Just one thing to be aware of when you make the move to Sky Q. I also migrated from a legacy multiswitch to a Triax model that supports dSCR. The two installers couldn´t get the Sky Q box working until I suggested they go into the installer menu (which they didn´t know how to do) to change the LNB setting from Wideband to SCR. Now it seems to work fine. Hopefully any installer you get will be more clued in.
