In fact there are now quite a few special types of LNB available that allow connection of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 receivers at once, there are also some that can receive from 2 different satellites at once, tuned into one receiver. </div> <bR> <div> So as you see, modern LNB's can resolve a sharing problem quickly and easily, and they will usually accommodate both analogue and digital signals together too. </div> <bR> <div> The only extras needed are the cables to each given point or receiver wherever they are around your building, and in a few instances you may need a small inline amplifier if the cable run is particularly long to prevent any signal loss.</div> <bR> <div> Below are a some pictures showing a few types of LNB and switching boxes that you can obtain easily from any good supplier, and with most of these special LNB's they will fit directly onto your existing dish without any problem.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">First 3 LNB's showing DUEL, QUAD and Eight input types</B> </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>   <IMG SRC="0879d960.gif" border=0 width="157" height="150" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">                 <IMG SRC="086d88e0.gif" border=0 width="216" height="142" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">                <IMG SRC="0887acd0.jpg" border=0 width="122" height="205" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Connect one or two receivers tuned to different satellite positions.</B> </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="082bed00.jpg" border=0 width="190" height="208" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">                      <IMG SRC="089e1d30.gif" border=0 width="225" height="211" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Other connector types for shared multi-point systems</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="08364600.jpg" border=0 width="100" height="96" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">          <IMG SRC="085c8730.gif" border=0 width="200" height="115" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">          <IMG SRC="08464420.jpg" border=0 width="100" height="66" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </div> <bR> <bR> <div> Copyright © 2007 - Clear View Satellites</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
