My System: basic sky box direct to main tv
Question home upgrade

Hello Chaps

Hope someone can help

I have a nine outlet old mercury telecraft tv-link system installed at home. 1 tv aerial feed direct from roof. All outlets fed in standard coax.
A standard sky box was installed at main lounge tv only. Sky box fed with CT100 direct from satellite, I have now managed to run additional 2 X CT100 to tv-link system and am looking to upgrade allowing TV and SAT in all rooms.
Can you suggest distribution unit and how to link from sat receiver?

Thanks

Welcome EEW,

It depends what you want to do. If You're happy with all outlets having access to what is on the S_y box then you could feed the RF output into a 'loftbox' type of unit like this in place of the Mercury unit...

If you want each outlet to have control over satellite then you'd need to consider a quattro LNB with a matching switch but you'd then need a receiver in each viewing location and cable to it from the switch
