[QUOTE="Xiaomi, post: 1050278, member: 412338"] I'll only be using sat inputs. However, as we are on the edge of the satellite footprint I want to ensure that the multiswitch causes as few issues as possible in terms of losses from the input LNB. Which one would be best in terms of this - I don't really understand the input loss/gains and return losses? I'm more concerned in performance between these two items than price. Do the dials on the sat inputs make them easier or more difficult to set up? The both seem to have 0dB insertion loss. However although the below link gives the isolation and return losses for the Goobay, I can't find the equivalent for the EMP Centauri. Plus I don't know how to interpret them. Can anyone on here? I presume neither of them have DC input sockets and are instead hardwired from the plug to the internal circuitry? Are these both plug and play devices or do you need to set them up? I found better specification here for the Goobay (this shows in the diagrams that the Goobay does not have an amplifier for the terr as it is amplified prior to the input. [URL='https://www.wentronic.de/media/pdf/67266_Bedienungsanleitung-Manual57fca6999387c.pdf']Goobay Spec[/URL] I think my question at this stage is Thanks for the replies - hopefully answers to the above will allow me to purchase the appropriate item.
