They will work with a quad, they should work with an octo with the other 4 outputs going to waste.

Any Q2 Multiswitch will work it of course only requires four feeds.

ta for the info, but the setup is there are 6 feeds from the dish on a new build all cables hidden, 2 for sky+ going to the living room and 4 going back to the basement for a multiswitch to feed 6 points around the house for sky and freesat, is there any other way of doing this?

Cheers

A switch that supports Q2 will select the required band from a universal ports of the Quad or Octo LNb.
