My System: GoldMaster 7400 CIM 2MB with Kaon board 12.03.a5. Technomate 1000, Technomate 5200 USB. Two 80cm offset dishes.

Thanks for enlightening me about the quatro LNB, and I really appreciate your comments about the other stuff. While we're at it, the installer of my present system installed the DiSEqC switch on the roof near to the LNBs. Is it necessary to be very close? I'd like to relocate it to the loft space about 5 or 6 metres away from the LNBs.
Also, I was following a post on a U.S. web site about down leads from LNB to the receiver, and one person claimed that the lead should be routed via an earthing device, rather like a barrel F-connector with earthing attachment, before connecting to the receiver. Is that standard practice / wise / necessary / mandatory!?
