    So Sky New Zealand LNB is to tune just channels on Optus D1 on horizontal high band. That means all channels are on the same sub-band and all users can connect to a single output from the LNB via a splitter.

    Your config looks correct except "Voltage mode" should be "18V" and "Tone Mode", "off".

    In theory you should be able to connect the dish cable to the first tuner and loop to the rest, i.e. B = Loopthrough, C-H = Automatic. If for some reason this won't work with a user defined L.O. you could try a Universal LNB.

    Thanks, I will try this when I get access to reboot the box.

    So Freeview may be on a different band but same satellite, do you mind checking if this would cause issue with channel swapping?
    ts TV One, Tv Three, Parliament TV etc.

    Lastly, as mentioned prior, I have my satalite going into this splitter https://cdlnz.com/10MM-DDA24 which is powered, so I assume is already powering the sat with the voltage.
    From the splitter, it fans out 4 outputs, 3 of them go to individual TV's that have Freeview tuned in (see screenshot of what the TV installer set for all the TV's).

    Note the TV installer still set the "Power" button on for the satalite even though he knew there was a powered splitter.

    Then the last 4th output from the powered splitter I connect to non powered splitter similar to this (https://www.jaycar.co.nz/kingray-4-w...itter/p/LT3071) that then goes into the 4 tuners in the GigaBlue.

    As you mention, I shouldn't need a antenna cable going to each tuner, so I will try change the setting to all use Tuner A; is it ok to leave the cables plugged into the other tuners or would This cause issue; I only ask because the property is 4hrs away and would prefer to leave them in for testing if at all possible.

    cheers
