    Hi,

    What is the best way to connect multiple tv's to 1 saorview ariel and 1 dish?

    I know you can get LNB's with multiple connection points, to run individual cables from (i assume this is the best way to do it)?

    Is there an equivalent Saorview ariel type that you connect multiple coaxes too, or is a passive / powered splitter in the attic best?

    Thanks.

    Multiswitch.

    Satellite and TV aerial inputs.

    Comes with 4, 8, 12, 16 and 32 outputs.

    Satellite and Saorview combined at each output.

    Are they as good as running a cable diirectly from the dish lnb? I only have 2 TV's...(but was thinking it would be better to take 2 x 2 coax to each for dual tuners).....

    Both options equally good.

    Running cables directly from dish to TV points is probably the cheaper option with a passive splitter or distribution amp for the aerial.
