No. So a block of flats have one satellite dish, but 20 people get a signal from that one dish. You state that there is no type of splitter device used. So where do I buy this wonder LNB device from? If as you state, that splitters are not involved?
Ah a multiswitch has been mentioned by the last poster. Is multiswitch not another term for a splitter?
Oh good grief, you really are out of your depth here, aren't you.
1) did the OP mention they live in a block of flats?.... Er, No!
2) the head end of a communal satellite viewing system is very different to domestic systems, and since we are talking about a domestic viewing system let's just stick to what's appropriate
3) when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging
Look, just admit that you're learning about satellite systems and take a step back from this one. Leave it to those of us who know what we are doing, eh?
A multiswitch is a matrix based distribution amplifier. It won't work correctly with a regular Quad LNB. It has to be used with a Quattro LNB where all four permutations of High/Low and Horizontal/Vertical are made available. The multiswitch handles the requests from each sat box and serves the correct permutation for the channel(s) requested.
As far as the OP's question is concerned we have probably covered this in more than enough detail now.
