    For 2-4 Dreamboxes working off the one dish you would need a quad lnb m8...


    That way you could watch different channels off the one satellite on the 2-4 boxes...


    If one box is only going to be used at a time, you could just split the co-ax four different ways using a splitter but i wouldnt recommend that..


    Looking at your first pic you also have 2 lnbs so would you want the two lnbs working on every box?


    If so you would need a quad lnb and a 2 way diseqc switch for every box...

    So my setup would look like this?


    2x quad lnb's and for every Dreambox i whant online i need a cabel from both lnb's and then to 1 diseqc to 1 dreambox.
    and the same setup every time i whant a new dreambox on the same sattelite ?

    Bit of a plummers nightmare you have mate lol.... for the record you cannot split signals from a sk_y dish whatsoever mate especially a single/dual or quad lnb as you will recieve nothing!!!!


    You can however split communial system lines but you do lose polarities while doing this but as yours is a residential system this is not possible.


    Scenario.... lets say you have 2 single feed boxes and you want to supply them with 2 seperate satellites,,your dish looks like it has a double lnb option as glen says(not monoblock) so you will need 2 x dual lnbs aligned on each satellite,, 1 feed from each to 2 seperate two way diseqc switches gives that option.


    If you have 4 single tuner dreamboxes and you want all 4 viewing 2 birds you will need 4 X 2 way diseqc switches and 2 quad lnbs.


    Never ever try and split a sk_y feed....its pointless and you will be waisting your time and materials.


    Recievers send voltages to the lnb on standard systems which is why normal splitters will fail!
