a Quad lnb allows you to run four lines of a single satellite dish, normal linux receivers use one, twin tuners run two hence the name and sly+ boxes run two.
If you had a receiver in more than two rooms at home, or you had two receivers and one was a twin tuner or two s*y boxes (multi room) etc...

Your right mate ! A quatro is for use with a multiswitch for large distribution systems ! they deliver the signal in bands, vertical high vertical low horizontal high and horizontal low
because there are four signal bands there are four outputs ! easy to confuse with a quad that delivers all bands from each output !
the polarity is voltage controlled and the band is switched with a 22khz tone sent from the receiver ! -
so instead of having loads of wires for my 5 boxes pulling the dish off the wall i can have one quattro with a single wire and then split the signal in the loft space. would i need four splitters - 1 for each output. how many bands are required for watching *** then?
-
one thing i forgot to ask was is it just a normal splitter i'm using or is it a diseq switch to switch bands?
-
u would have 4 cables going from ur lnb to the distribution unit (not just a simple splitter)
-
best domestic switch that works with a standard quad is OPTIMA brand ¬ its Visions domestic range and does not require a quatro so you can just take four cables from your existing dish and standard Quad to the optima switch !
