Is there a limit as to how many Sky box’s can be fed from one 4.2m dish?

And for the techies out there, is it as simple as just taking a coax’ feed to the property from the dish, though I assume some sort of splitter and into the box in the property?

Easy to have 4 boxes using a quad LNB (LNB with 4 coax outputs). Possible to have more than 4 using more advanced equipments. You CANNOT have just the one feed split at the bottom into more than one slybox.

P.S. I have an Invercom Quad 0.3 dB LNB. Feeds me and 3 neighbours.

Hi Cheggers,



You can fit a 4.2m with a Quattro LNB and feed a device called a multiswitch.. these can have 8 , 12 , 16 , 32 feeds.



However, there is a loss of signal strength - important in marginal areas



A good Quad LNB can give 4 feeds or 1 x SKY+ HD and 2 std boxes or , 2 x SKY+ or 4 times ord receivers



IF you know someone who has 25K I can make a single 4.2m feed as many folk as you like on a develpment ;)
