[QUOTE="Verns, post: 566599, member: 307958"] Earlier this year I moved into an apartment block on Tenerife. Already installed on the roof was a 3.2m off set dish (directed at 28.5) with a Humax Octo universal lnb. Unfortunately all 8 connections are in use so I have to make do with a redundant 0.9m dish and a Fortec Star uni lnb with my Pace 2600C1. It gives me good signal/picture with everything free to air on the south beam but of course I would love to make use of that dish and get the 'full hit' from the north beam especially as it's sited right on top of my bedroom roof. After lots of enquiries it seems a multiswitch is the answer and I've been considering asking at the owners agm in january if I could pay to have this installed with the necessary quad lnb. This is where i'd like to ask your advice. Would there be any signal deterioration for the existing users?, would they find weaker channels missing?. Is it possible to buy a multiswitch that uses line power from the recievers rather than a seperate mains power supply?. It's an old apartment block with no outside electricity. I'd be happy to run a cable from my flat, but what if my mains trip switch was to 'trip' while I was in the UK, or maybe I would need to knock the power off while i'm out there. The other dish owners would not be impressed. Thanks Vernon. ps. why don't they make 10 output lnbs? [/QUOTE]
