Is solo 4K the best ?

Unicable lnb is 4x price of normal lnb!
Unicable switch is really expensive.
So looking at option 2 for 2 sats you have 8 cables going into a unicable switch and 1 cable out for the single receiver to give 8 feeds ...... and you still have the 2nd cable for the motorised.
Given that for one receiver its a good deal, but what about my other 3 receivers?

No, you don't need a switch.

One Unicable II LNB on 19E. Another Unicable II LNB on 28E. Both connected to single cable. When you install you "tell" the LNB that is aligned on 19E to only respond to requests for 19E. Same for 28E. At the other end you split as required to distribute to all your receivers.

Now any STB can access any Unicable LNB over the single cable.

But IIRC for that 'telling' you need a rather expensive programmer.

The programmer is cheaper than a switch. Pin money for an installer. Once you have the prgrammer you could have a proper complete multisat system over a single cable without a switch.

Main problem with Unicable is one resident in the system can adjust their STB setup and cause SCR collisions for other residents.
