I'm a private individual running a twin O/P Invacom 0.3 db LNB into two separate boxes with successfully with no problems. Also have many months experience with EuroStar ESKD-T2 0.5 db twin O/P LNB. Invacom do a 4 O/P LNB too which will work just the same. In comparison, the Single O/P Invacom 0.3 db performed worse than the twin O/P. The reason for this is that the twin O/P LNB apparently have better V to H polarisation discrimination, this has been reported elsewhere. Suggest you visit www.sature.co.uk or Satalogue.co.uk and check out their offers on multiple O/P LNBs, if it works with twin O/P LNBs have no reason for it not to be just as good with a Quad O/P LNB. The only additional comment is if the coax-cable length is greater than 100m suggest you place an in-line Amp to boost the signal for that line to the digibox. You'll still need 4 separate receivers however if you wish to service four homes.
