[QUOTE="slowbob, post: 811258, member: 308526"] Hi, I would appreciate some advice concerning a new build property. I am a qualified sparky so basic TV, FM and Sky+, i'm used to. The job i've just started however is a bit more complicated. What the customer is asking for is the capability to have Sky+/freesat+ in every bedroom, plus lounge, study, kitchen, office, there could be 10 different points. Now i have never seen an LNB with 20 outlets on it, so would it be that i need to install some type of multiswitch/ amp/ splitter of some discription, taking all the coax wires to a central location, rather than the dish and then taking coax(es) up to the dish to supply the network? Similar to an hotel set up i guess. What had been suggested by myself is wherever a point in a room is required, running a pair coax cables to there from the dish, but the dish would be mounted remote from the house and some of these cable runs could end up being in excess of 50 metres. Not being a TV specialist, i don't know how far a standard coax can run without signal degradation. Also, would there be any need for more than two coax cables at any one outlet point. If there is sky+ or freesat, then they carry digital radio so three coaxes seems un-necessary (to me). Thanks, Adam. [/QUOTE]
