[QUOTE="satkingno, post: 933447, member: 284238"] Hi! I have searched the boards, but there does not seem to be a definitive answer for this. What is best for fringe reception, a regular quad/diseqc setup, or quattro/multiswitch? I have heard that you are supposed to increase the dish size a little when using mulitswitches, but is there really any truth to this? The diseqc switches I currently use has an insertion loss of typically 5db: [url]http://www.emp-centauri.cz/index.php?lang=en&page=prodview&id_kateg=1&id_pkateg=21&id=82[/url] The Multiswitch I am looking at has a loss of 3 db: [url]http://www.emp-centauri.cz/index.php?lang=en&page=prodview&id_kateg=1&id_pkateg=15&id=75[/url] In addition to this, the internal switch in the quad LNB is removed, so shouldn't it be even more loss reduction? Does anyone have experience with changing over from a "normal" setup to a multiswitch setup? Regards Tommy [/QUOTE]
