[QUOTE="davemurgtroyd, post: 952408, member: 319227"] I installed my first multisatellite (13E & 19E) multiroom (4 rooms) analogue system on my house jsut after Sky analogue launched (late 1989). I used two "twin" lnbs (the original definition for two separate outputs of horizontal and vertical polarisations) feeding Global Mini Magics ( 2 input 4 output multiswitches) and outputs from them fed via 22kHz switches to 4 receivers - each having full access to all channels on both satellites. I moved the system to a friends house in 2000 when iwent to Sky digital and finally removed it when Astra 1 analogue finally turned off (two years ago) and everything with the exception of one lnb (which I replace 4 years ago) was still working and dish apart from nuts and bolts was rust free after 24 years use 24/7. On the topic of VCRs I still have in the loft VHS, Betamax, Video 2000 and a reel to reel video recorder all I believe still working. I also have a CED videodisc, VHD videodisc and Laserdisc players. The only domestic audio or video formats since the 1960s that I cannot play are the Elcaset (audio cassettes twice the size of compact cassettes using 1/4" tape), Philips video cassettes and Minidisks.
