If you use the right Satellite LNB (quattro I think they're called), you

A multiswitch ideally it'll also take terrestial TV, DAB and FM as well as
the four feeds from the LNB and send the whole lot down each of it's
outputs.
Some multiswitches can drive a Quad LNB to get the right signals on the

inputs others require the connections to be be correct and the use of a
Quattro LNB.


That's clever - how do you demultiplex the FM/DAB/TV/Sat at the other end or
do you still need an individual cable per input?
