Alternatively, it can simply provide lots of connection points to allow you to move the receivers around. In addition, you can connect radio and/or TV aerials to provide those signals at the same connection points as well as satellite signals. (Order Form is further down the page. Please read the complete page before ordering.) Multiple Satellite Points A multiswitch allows you to feed many wall plates in various rooms with satellite TV signals from a QUATTRO or Quad-output LNB on your dish.* In addition, if you wish, you can also feed aerial signals from a UHF TV aerial or, with the addition of a V24-310 aerial combiner (see below), any or all of UHF TV (analogue and/or digital), FM radio or DAB. SatCure supplies multiswitches with Quattro LNB inputs, aerial input and up to 48 outputs. You do not have to use the aerial input if you don't require Freeview. You don't have to use all the multiswitch outputs. Each output carries satellite plus any aerial signals that you feed into the multiswitch (from optional Freeview and/or radio aerials). *(More complex multiswitches that are compatible with a quad-output LNB are manufactured - e.g. Optima. A Quattro LNB is cheaper but nobody makes a Quattro LNB to suit an oval Sky minidish. The dish for a Quattro has to be circular, as seen by the LNB. If you already have a quad-output LNB, you can use that with a compatible Multiswitch.) A twin-tuner "PVR" receiver requires two cable connections from the LNB for full functionality. A multiswitch requires FOUR cables from the LNB, as shown. The cable runs from the LNB should be SHORT and preferably no more than 10m. Using coloured WF100 cables makes it easier to determine which end is which if you use a Quattro LNB. (For a quad-output LNB it doesn't matter.) Feed UHF aerial into multiswitch or add optional V24-310 FM+DAB+UHF aerial combiner to include FM and/or DAB radio signals as well as Freeview UHF TV. Connect multiswitch outputs via single 'F' (satellite only), twin 'F' (twin satellite feed for Sky+ or Freesat PVR). Or use a Triplex (SAT + TV + FM/DAB) decombiner plate. Or use a Quadplex plate, which is the same as a Triplex but with an additional (separate) SAT connection, so you can have twin SAT feeds, plus TV plus radio.   DISH SIZE A Quattro LNB does not match a Sky minidish. (You might bodge it to fit but it will receive less signal than normal). It is designed to "see" a circular dish, not oval. We recommend a 60cm "circular" dish or larger. Please check the signal strength in your area. In general, it will be found beneficial to use "the next size larger than normal", for three reasons: A multiswitch has losses and, although some incorporate signal amplifiers, providing a better signal to begin with will reduce the percentage of "noise" added by the amplifier. Most installations that use a multiswitch will use longer cable runs than a "normal" house, resulting in more signal loss. QUATTRO LNBs are not available for (oval) Sky Minidishes so you'll have to change your dish if you want to use one. Each output of the Multiswitch should be connected to a satellite outlet plate or, if you want the TV and/or radio signals as well, to a Triplex plate (shown above) which separates the signals. If you don't need the Sky signal, you can use a TV/Radio diplexer plate instead. (The FM/DAB signals come from a single outlet so, if both are required, you can use a simple "Y" splitter.) For Sky+ or Sky+HD or other satellite PVR having two tuners, you will require TWO wall plates (or a double-width bezel fitted with two modules) or a "Quadplex" plate that is basically a triplexer with an additional "F" connector. Where ONLY satellite feeds are required in a room, you can use a single, twin, or quad "F" connector wall plate. EARTHING REQUIREMENTS If a multiswitch is feeding separate dwellings, which may be on different mains power supply phases, it is essential to get a qualified electrician to "earth-bond" the multiswitch. He will understand what this means and will know how to do it. Please consult him first, to ensure that the multiswitch is installed reasonably close to a suitable earthing point. QUESTIONS If you have any questions regarding the information on this page, please email us and include a link to this multiswitches.htm page in your message. Please note that we can give only limited help and we will not design your system. If your question requires sight of your wiring diagram, please upload it before contacting us. NOTE: VISION V75- MULTISWITCHES It has come to our attention that a batch of Vision V75- Multiswitches (now obsolete) may have been fitted with substandard power supply parts. If you have a power supply problem with yours, you can either return it to our appointed repairer (with proof of purchase) or order a (free) repair kit from us (requires basic soldering skills). Please contact SatCure Technical for more information. If you did not buy your Vision V75- Multiswitch from SatCure, you can buy a repair kit from us: click HERE.   Multiswitch Multiroom Home System The following kit will work with a Quattro LNB or a quad-output LNB. If you already have a suitable dish system, there is no need to order the dish and LNB below. (Set the quantity to zero.) Some of the parts in a typical kit. See order form below. Please read ALL notes on this page before ordering. There is a wide choice of possible wall plates and wall boxes, dependent on whether you want to include points for radio, telephone and dependent on whether you need one or two satellite connections in any specific room. You might need three or four different configurations of wall plate. Please bear in mind that every multiswitch output cable carries Satellite signals (and TV and Radio as well, if those aerials are connected). Typical cost of this system with wall plates including UK carriage & VAT = £400. You can make it cheaper by using your own dish, LNB and cables if you wish. If you already have a dish and LNB with 4 outputs, you won't need ours and you won't need the coloured cable. Please add items to the shopping cart for a no-obligation price total. You can adjust quantities here AND in the cart. Set to zero any items that you don't need. 8 output Multiswitch £49.99 12 output Multiswitch £74.99 16 output Multiswitch £79.99 Qty 60cm dish for QUATTRO LNB £24.95 Qty QUATTRO universal 0.4dB LNB £19.99 Qty Dish wall mount £6.95 Qty 100m Black WF100 reel £32.99 100m White WF100 reel £32.99 100m Brown WF100reel £32.99 cable Qty Red, Green & Yellow WF100 lengths £2.10 per metre (3) metres of each 'F' plugs £0.29 each Qty 23478 box FIX81 Black cable clip 6-7mm 23461 box FIX83 White cable clip 6-7mm 45425 box FIX82 Brown cable clip 6-7mm £3.25 Qty 50g tube silicone grease £3.99 Qty Radio aerial input combiner £9.95 Qty CABLE TIE BLACK 200mm x 4.8mm £0.05 CABLE TIE WHITE 200 mm x 4.6mm £0.05 CABLE TIE BLACK 280 mm x 4.8mm £0.11 CABLE TIE WHITE 280 mm x 4.8mm £0.11 CABLE TIE BLACK 385 mm x 4.8mm £0.15 CABLE TIE WHITE 385 mm x 4.8mm £0.15 Qty Pack of 5 Bolts/plugs to hold dish to wall £1.75 Qty FIX07A CABLE ENTRY COVER BROWN FIX07B CABLE ENTRY COVER WHITE £0.99 Qty SABL black silicone adhesive SAWH white silicone adhesive SABR brown silicone adhesive One 99p 10 ml syringe per cover required --> Qty V24-310 FM+DAB+UHF combiner £9.95 In weatherproof plastic housing (see notes above).

Alternatively, it can simply provide lots of connection points to allow you to move the receivers around if you change rooms or furniture. In addition, you can connect radio and/or TV aerials to provide those signals at the same connection points as well as satellite signals. A multiswitch allows you to feed many wall plates in various rooms with satellite TV signals. In addition, if you wish, you can also feed aerial signals from a UHF TV aerial or, with the addition of a V24-310 Radio input aerial combiner, FM radio and/or DAB. Notes: 1. A mains (240v) powered Optima Multiswitch is supplied. Simple robust construction and great value for money. Optional aerial input includes switchable 12V power for masthead aerial amplifier if needed. Compact design ideal when space is tight. Switch-mode power unit runs cooler, improves reliability. Ideal for Sky, Freesat and multi-room satellite installations. 2. Steel back boxes for wall plates or plastic boxes for plasterboard walls can be ordered separately. 3. Wall plates with a variety of connections can be ordered separately. If you need time to discuss this, ask us to hold your multiswitch kit order. 4. A 100m reel of WF100 cable is suggested together with wall clips. Three lengths of Green, yellow and red WF100 cable are suggested. These, plus a length of the black cable will be required to connect the Quattro LNB to the coloured multiswitch inputs. We suggest silicone grease be used for fitting the plugs. The 100m cable colour may be black, white or brown. Likewise the cable clips. Outdoor cables may be painted or run in conduit for extended life in sunlight. 5. An outdoor cable hole cover is recommended. This accommodates up to 5 cables, makes the hole in the wall neater, and helps to keep rain out. Silicone adhesive can be used to fix it. Please note that the plastic tends towards yellow in bright sunlight and should be painted to match the wall colour and for UV protection. 6.
