[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 532572, member: 175057"] If you are using a multiswitch, then you would normally use a larger dish than a Sky minidish, perhaps a Zone 2 minidish, but there is not as far as I know, a quattro LNB made for those dishes, so best to use a conventional dish, perhaps a Fracarro Penta 68cm, this should give you enough signal to overcome any insertion loss from the multiswitch. You will either need to run second cables to the two rooms with Sky + boxes, or use a couple of Stacker/de-stackers, global make a good one apparently. You can buy a Sky+ system outlet plate, it will have two satellite feeds and a TV and FM/DAB connector, it takes two cables. You can run a satellite receiver straight from the multiswitch feed, but it is better to ruin it through a diplexed outlet. [/QUOTE]
