[QUOTE="intracube, post: 945757, member: 380516"] Hi, I'm looking at replacing the satellite/terrestrial distribution around my house which has grown organically over the years and while I'm at it, increase the number of outlets in the rooms. Currently, there are three fixed dishes: 1 @ 28.2E - quad LNB 2 @ 19.2E - single LNB 3 @ 13.0E - single LNB (fourth might be added at some point) A 17x8 or 17x10 switch looks ideal. Is there much difference on noise, crosstalk, signal loss from the different manufacturers (Triax, EMP-Centauri, Premium-X)? The later two are a heck of a lot cheaper than the equivalent Triax, but maybe you get what you pay for. I noticed some of the Centauri switches worked with both quad/quattro LNBs, but since I'm replacing the other LNBs there's probably not much in it... but it'd be nice to save the quad LNB. Can anyone recommend a good 2x sat, 1x tv wall plate? Should a Sky Digibox work with the setup if I make sure the 4 cables from the 28.2E dish go into the first 4 inputs on the switch? (eg, will the switch default to sat 1 in the absence of any diseqc commands?) Any other problems I might have overlooked? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
