IMPORTANT ADVICE

• This version of multiswitch can work with quads as well as quatro LNBs
• Best results on terrestrial are achieved when using a grouped (e.g. Group B) rather than wide band UHF aerials
• On terrestrial, it may be necessary to use a launch amplifier to boost signal (This is true for 16 & 32 output units)

USES of 5x16 Satellite & Terrestrial MultiSwitch

• Used in conjunction with a Quad or Quatro LNB and a 80cm dish to distribute the satellite and sometimes Terrestrial TV signal to a number a number of TV points
• Capable of giving good results on both Satellite and Terrestrial output.

Used extensively in

• Apartment blocks
• Small Hotels
• B&Bs

How 4 Input LNBs & Multiswitch Work

• Used in conjunction with a quad or quatro LNB (normally mounted on an 80cm dish) who's 4 outputs are broken into
  • Vertical (High & Low)
  • Horizontal (High & Low)
• Multiswitch Inputs:
  • Satellite: 4 from satellite - from either a quad or Quatro LNB
  • Terrestrial: Single feed covering full VHF / UHF spectrum
• Multiswitch Outputs:
  • Outputs: 16 outputs to satellite receivers
• At the TV Point:
  • Use a faceplate to split the signal into satellite and terrestrial

ADVANTAGES of 5x16 Satellite & Terrestrial MultiSwitch

• This unit with a single 80cm satellite dish can feed a medium sized apartment block
• Works well with both satellite and terrestrial
• Can be very cost efficient on medium sized commercial jobs
• Part of Whyte's top of the range multiswitch series

DISADVANTAGES of 5x16 Satellite & Terrestrial MultiSwitch

• A Sky dish with an Octo LNB is more practical for small jobs requiring less than 8 satellite feeds and no terrestrial signal
• Alignment and setup can be quite complicated and frustrating - this unit is not for the DIYer
• Need to plan properly and use high quality cable CT100 or CT165 if it is to work correctly through a large scheme
• Maximum limit of this unit is 16 outputs or 8 Sky+HD receivers, which often is not sufficient eg. for a block with 9 apartments each which require 2 satellite feeds - would require 18 outputs.
• Will not support Sky Q - we have alternative product for this
