need some help with antenna setup + cables

[silicuda]

im looking at doing a small toroidal setup .. about 6 LNBs... got a few questions if guys dont mind..

I need to run 8 tv drops total.

1) Should I use a QUATRO LNB and then a multiswitch with 8 outputs.

2) or-Should I use an OCTO LNB and just run 1 cable down from each LNB into a Diseq switch and thats it?

3) In either option above - How to combine local cable tv in? Possible via a diplexer attached after the signal comes out from the multiplexer?

thanks

From what little I know, best is 8 x Centauri 8in1 switch and peace. They are around €40 each in Germany.

In which case it is better to have T90 with 8 LNBs... More cost effective and efficient, so to speak.

Anyone with some patience and a friend to help out should be able to sort that out, I think.

The problems start when you start pushing it to 16 LNBs...
