Saorview & sat help

touchwood

Folks, the parents have asked me to help them get saorview and sat feed into the kitchen and upstairs room, I don't have saorview and have never set it up, they have it working fine in the living room with a combo box. Saorview aerial is in the attic. What do I need to do to connect 2 more Tvs to both? Thanks for the help.

There are a few ways to do it but this how its done in my house.
For soarview the signal from the aeriel in the attic can be split to each tv. A booster would help stop loss of signal strength rather than a splitter.
For free to air each tv must have a cable direct from the satellite dish. You would also need a quad Inb on the dish for the 2 extra tv's.
I believe a multiplexer can also be used but I've no experience of its setup.

That would be a multiswitch, probably overkill for what you want to do.

What type of dish is on the house, a Sky oval dish or standard universal dish?

This quad LNB with terrestrial aerial input is an option to combine sat and terrestrial feeds at the dish down a single cable and split again at the TV point,

Split the 2 signals again at the TV end with this splitter or this splitter wallplate
