I have now set up a couple of satellite TV systems using universal low

My question is which of the four LNB F sockets should be fed with power
by the Satlook meter? Obviously I have to choose one of the sockets to
connect to in order to align the dish. But which one? Or can it be any
socket? Can't find the answer to this either on Smart's site nor through
Google.

If a true quad-LNB, then I would think any. They are designed to
"look" like independent LNB's to the receiver so each receiver can
change band and polarisation.

That would be a Vision multiswitch. I've got a V75 508A in the loft
connected to a quad LNB.

What's the point? A quattro is cheaper and simpler (and thus
probably more reliable). Will many people have a quad and then want
a distribution system?

If you want to add in terrestrial TV and Radio then perhaps Yes...

I already had a quad in place.

I did.

That's what I'm in the process of doing. Just need to renew the FM
aerial lead first as it's full of water.
