quote: Minidish = Freesat or Sky etc / Aerial = Freeview If you're planning to feed a sat signal around the house then personally i'd go the Quattro LNB (different to a single/twin/quad/octo LNB) and a decent multiswitch distribution amp route. Screwfix does Labgear amps that are ok otherwise have a look out for Triax. Note that sat multiswitch amps tend to have 5 inputs - 4 sat inputs (from the Quattro LNB - HH, VH, HL, VL) and 1 UHF/Terrestrial input (if you need DAB/FM as well then you need a combiner that sits in front of the UHF input).

Stick the amp where ever is suitable, doesn't necessarily need to be in the attic. And use f-connectors where ever possible, especially on the amp, as it makes life a lot easier. | |

quote:so i just need a booster/amplifier for 5 cables (as that's what is already plumbed in) + the feed from the Aerial and an electrical socket to plug it into? Or a splitter for the two i plan to use until i get that Not getting sky, too expensive for what i would use it for. [Edited on 21-11-2012 by Russ] [Edited on 21-11-2012 by Russ] | |

Just get a roll of Coax from Screwfix 25m or 50m, as stated if you want to feed multiple tvs you will need a amp / booster, but you can get probably feed 2 tv's with one ariel. | |
