My current setup consists of items below:-
Roof mounted Aerial
8 way distribution amplifier in loft
8 runs of coax cable from loft distribution amp to 8 rooms
7 of the rooms have a Freeview box
1 room has a Freview PVR
I want to keep Freeview, but also have Freesat
From what I read, is it possible to take out my distribution amp and replace it with a multiswitch - the multiswitch will have 5 inputs (1 from the aeriel and 4 from a quad or quattro LN and 8 outputs
What is the differentce between a quad and a quattro LND, and which would I need
This multiswitch will then distribute the Freeview and Freesat down to each room using the already installed 8 runs of coax
Is it correct that each single run to each room can carry both the Freeview and Freesat
If this is correct, is it just a matter of having a 2 way splitter (one for Freview and the other for Freesat) or do I need something else to get it to work
If I then eventually want a Freesat PVR, can I just use a 3 way splitter (1 Freeview and 2 for the Freesat PVR), or is the Freesat PVR going to need an extra run of coax
As I finished doing up my house about six months ago, I had hidden all the coax runs under floorboards and behind skirting boards, so I would like to avoid having to relay new runs of coax if possible
This will be the first time I've had any form of Satellite, so I am a complete noob to this
Any information would be gratefully received
Many thanks
