[QUOTE="bignick, post: 389480, member: 190163"] Yup, Still in Aldershot!:-DOH2 I am currently undergoing training in the same area as they train Sat/Terrestrial installation training so I had a word with the instructor (and bought a 1000m of H109 off him trade too :) - you just can't get that quality in Cyprus. Your best solution is dependent on the amount of outputs you want. If this is below 24 then it should be fairly straight forward. You need a Quattro LNB .. I suppose the C120 Invacom would be the choice but don't quote me, I am commenting based on experiences of the Quad. You will then bring 4 Coaxes down and connect them into your 5/24 multiswitch (5 inputs - 1 terrestrial, 4 from LNB) and feed out your outputs to the various apartments. I'm afraid I couldn't comment on the best make for this, I'm sure the locals will know what works best. The Multiswich must be near a power supply and not too far from the dish - I would imagine less than 20m. Use very good quality cable - minimum CT100 standard. If the amount is more than 24 then you need to daisy chain which is a whole new kettle of fish and needs more explanation. Intrestingly enough, the maximum number off one dish is 128. The guy said that a quality setup will have virtually the same gain on the furthest away output as the closest one. Hope that is of some help to you. Cheers Nick [/QUOTE]
