Unicable lnb advice

[seame]

I need a bit of info on how best to setup my new house.

My plan is to replace the current lnb with a unicable which will be connected to an 8 way splitter to then feed each room in the house. Can this be done or does the unicable lnb need to wired direct to a receiver?

Any recommendations on which unicable is best are welcome.

I'll be using a fixed dish pointing at 28.2 only :(

Does not have to be direct to receiver.
You can also use multiple splitters if it is more convenient.

Use a unicable 2 LNB as unicable 1 generally allow a maximum of 4 connections.



An alternative is to use a switch. You can then add Terrestrial connection. You will generally need a quattro LNB for a switch. Some switches will also take a standard/universal LNB.

... some switches will take Quad or Quattro LNB's but you have to double check the description.
Some will also do the splitting eg 8 single outputs or 2x3 or a combination plus "legacy" outputs

You don't need a switch to combine terrestrial and satellite. Just use a mixer.

If you just want single sat I can't see any reason to use a switch.
