I'm no expert but until now have used a quad lnb to feed 4 receivers in my house for many years here on the fringe.. However I could really do with 3 more feeds to allow use of pvr and to put sat points in 2 more rooms. Reading this forum and other info it seems I could consider using a Quattro lnb and 8 way multi switch. However I have no knowledge of how this would work in practice so have a few questions.
1.. how near to the lnb must the multi switch be ? i.e. Is a run of 15m ok?
2.. would all receivers be able to watch any channel at any time all at the same time?
3.. would there be much loss of signal if I used such a system?
4...is there anything else I need to consider?
I am planning to reuse most of the existing cable runs but of course will need new ones from the multi switch to the new locations.
