[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 407840, member: 256551"] Hi FSD, Receivers normally only have one LNB input, an external switch is normally required. For a single receiver, for 4 sats a 4 way DiSEqC switch could be used. For more than one receiver, one option would be to use 'Octo' LNBs with a 4 way DiSEqC switch on each receiver, not sure about the UHF input for this though. Another option would be to use a multiswitch. To use a multiswitch, each LNB must be a 'quattro' or 'quatro' (spelling seems to differ). A diagram for a single sat can be found here:- _http://www.satelliteonline.co.uk/Sky%20Commercial.pdf You have said '5' sat, but in fact you only need a '4' sat system as 28.5E and 28.2E can be considered to be co-located, and only one LNB will be needed for both. There are a number of multiswitches on this page _http://www.satellitesuperstore.com/multiswitch.htm (It says that they have a helpline too) There is a '17 in 16' out multiswitch there that would do the job for you. If you do a search maybe you can find a '17 in 8 out', which would be more suited and cheaper unless each receiver had a twin tuner. An example of LNB multi-brackets can also be found on that site. Hopefully, this is of some help Robbo [/QUOTE]
