    Cables. I've 16 feeds in my home. My old apartment had 4 dishes which would have been 64 feeds, presuming they don't use larger LNBs. Seriously this isn't rocket science although I suppose it does involve space :pac:

    Actually thinking about it IIRC mine was a optical splitter with 4 feeds into the apartment. I think I had the box crash on me (freeze) 4 times in 5 years. My UPC used to do that 4 times a week.

    In fairness they broke my window fitting it. It was repaired within a couple of days. The glazier was so good I got the windows done!

    They use multiswitches rather than multiple dishes. Buildings with multiple different dishes are usually offering multiple satellites for those who want foreign packages. Not uncommon on newer blocks.

    I suspect an NI SkyGo sub won't work long term (if at all) from an ROI IP address.

    Works fine.

    The only thing that doesn't work in my experience is ITV over Sky Go.

    Can we get back on topic please. The satellite tv forum is a more appropriate place to discuss the logistics of satellite feeds from communal dishes. Thanks.
