[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 632372, member: 301161"] For three or four receivers use a quad for each satellite position. For more than four receivers use a quattro and a multiswitch. There are 8 outlet LNBs too but these are really quattros with multiswitches built in. A diseqc switch is not the same as a multiswitch. A multiswitch is used to share a quattro LNB among multiple receivers.A diseqc switch is so several LNBs (positions) can feed one receiver. In your case you would use a diseqc switch for each receiver and a quad LNB for each position. Each diseqc would be connected to one socket on each LNB and then one downlead would run to the receiver. There are also multiswitches for multiple positions but they are pretty expensive. For your application you would need a 17/4 switch. [URL="http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/digital-systems/139463-4-x-4-1-vs-17-4-multiswitch.html"]See here[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
