[QUOTE="ntm1275, post: 518533, member: 290162"] 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 LNB) 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 [/QUOTE]
