[QUOTE="zebbee, post: 819989, member: 391657"] I have a Quad LNB - 2 connected to SkyHD+ in the lounge, 1 to old Sky box in bedroom and 1 to a Grundig GUFSAT02SD in the kitchen. This all works fine but...my better half uses the TV in the kitchen to catch up on her programs recorded on Sky+ (achieved via a Phillips wireless TV link transmitter which works well for us). This ties up the TV in the lounge BUT it does have an inbuilt Freesat receiver so I thought I'd try putting a splitter in to share the signal with the kitchen - knowing we'd never be competing for the signal at the same time. Having experienced problems with this today, i now realise its cos the TV connected to one particular output of the splitter effectively 'drives' the signal and hence that TV's receiver box has to be switched on. Furthermore, the channels available to the other TV (in my case in the lounge) are fairly restricted. So, whilst not perfect, at least its an improvement. I guess I could temporarily swap the outputs from the splitter to give me all the channels in the lounge. However, is it possible to buy a splitter whereby you can manually switch control between the two outputs rather than physically change them? Suggestions for an alternative solution also welcomed! (By the way, my good lady is not confined to the kitchen. It is her choice! I guess Sky Multiroom would be another option but I would prefer to avoid any further monthly charge - its expensive enough already). Thanks in anticipation Zebb [/QUOTE]
