    Are there cheaper versions of the switch you linked to? I'll only be running 3 TVs, won't be adding more (definitely not 8), and would such a switch negate the signal drop I'm experiencing with the lnb?

    I was searching for a 5x4 multiswitch (4 outputs) but they now appear to be scarce, a reputable brand such as Whyte, EMP, Triax, etc. would be recommended.

    With the multiswitch you would bypass the LNB and run the aerial feed direct. The multiswitch doesn't have an internal amp and if you were experiencing Saorview signal issues due to the low signal level an amp before the multiswitch would be required or move the aerial to the chimney to improve reception.

    They are three sat feeds to the TV. Up until this point, I had one TV, so used a diplexer at the satellite end to join, and another to split at the TV end. Never had any issue with the aerial signal strength (even though it was 38%)

    The entire purpose of this new lnb was to not have three different diplexers at the satellite end, assuming that was even possible.

    A cheaper option if a little untidy would be to run the aerial feed direct to a distribution amp and feed each output of the amp to a diplexer where you would combine each satellite feed to each TV point.
