[QUOTE="Adam792, post: 765150, member: 330868"] You need a multiswitch to do what you're suggesting. Then you use special 4 output LNB on the dishes (a quattro LNB, [b]not[/b] a quad). Putting 2 octo LNBs on one dish won't work as you can't make it so they're 'looking' in the same direction, which is essential. You need to look at a 9 input and 24 output (I've never seen a 20 output one, they seem to come in multiples of 8) multiswitch - the 9th input is just for an aerial connection if you want to distribute terrestrial TV over the same system (with the TV + Sat output wall-plates you can get that split the signal back into the satellite and terrestrial frequencies).
