    Hi

    I need to replace my switch but when I google the exact model that I have its very expensive and not many available.

    I'm not very tech minded so can anyone advise me on a good value replacement that will do the job?

    What price is 'very expensive'?

    Please indicate what you consider 'good value'.

    Good multiswitches are not cheap.

    There are quite a number of different manufacturers of these devices .......

    I'm seeing the same make/model as mine on ebay for £99 and thats 'used' condition.

    The Revez for €57 look about the right price for me and it appears to be the same spec as mine....thanks for that!

    You can also get combiner multiswitches that send out combined terrestrial and satellite on the cables. The terrestrial can be split out again using a diplexer or diplexer socket closer to the TV.

    Be aware that different models require different LNBs ...... quad, quatro ..... while some can handle both.

    You presumably already have the splitters at the TV points to separate the Terrestrial and Sat signals again.
