I am in the South of the Limousin in France

Currently I have a sat dish with 2 cables running from the head and get good reception

I am looking for (ideally) 3 separate televisions with ability to watch and record different programmes on all tv’s (simultaneously)

First priority is being able to do the above on the main tv.

Currently running Main tv (samsung uhd 7 series) with a humax box.

Internet is via landline.

What equipment do I need to achieve the above?

As I am a newby to this please be quite simplistic in the first instance

Welcome to the Forum.

When you say you already have a dish and good reception, would we be correct in assuming you're referring to UK TV?

If so, you just need to replace the LNB (Head) with one that has more outputs.

Your proposal as it stands needs six feeds, so an Octo LNB would do (and leaves you two spare feeds for future use). Much cable required, too!

Yes viewing UK TV. So simply! 2 cables to each location and presumably a new Humax box (OR SIMILAR) at each location ?

Hopefully, along with a replacement LNB.

Can you please post up some pics showing the dish installation, just in case there are other issues that might complicate matters.
