Like the other thread running technology has overtaken my knowledge.

A job we have just started will have at least 10 Tv's. Sky +( each with its own receiver) will be needed in 3 rooms and pumped through to all outlets via the main Tv position. There will also be a foreign sat dish with its receiver next to the Sky one in the lounge. This will also need to be connected to all position's. Also CCTV will be connected into all positions.

If we use a multiswitch does this mean 4 co-ax cables from the Sky dish to the multiswitch. Then 1 downlead to every Tv. But what about the foreign dish and being able to watch the sky from the main box.

As only 3 Sky + boxes will be used it will probably be cheaper to run a shotgun co-ax direct to each of these from the dish + 1 extra co-ax for the foreign dish and 1 for the aerial to the main tv and a link back up to an amp for the rest of the house. Can you get a LNB for 3 separate Sky + box's. Does this make any sense ? Comments appreciated
