Default New feeds to a Black Gold BGT3540

Hi Folks,

I'm hoping you can help me out...

I know a bit about TV stuff (I work as an audience research engineer (*yawn*)), but that all deals with pretty standard installations. Outside of that I've only really experience of the Eurovox Max cable box, which I sorted-out for my Dad.

I'm in the process of building a new HTPC for the bedroom, and I'm installing a Black Gold BGT3540 tuner card. Terrestrial is already sorted because I've got a pretty mean aerial on the house with two strong feeds headed for the location of the HTPC already.

I'm interested in hooking the card up to the Sky Minidish we have feeding a standard Sky Digital box downstairs though.

At the moment there's what I believe is a Zone 1 Minidish (We're near Swansea) with a single-LNB on the wall.

I guess I'm going to need to replace the LNB with a Quad item in order to feed the box downstairs and the two tuners in my HTPC.

So, out of all the confusion of circular and oval dishes and suitable LNBs, my question is this - what's the best bang-for-buck Quad LNB to be fitted to a Zone 1 Minidish, and could anyone suggest a good online seller for such an item?

Thanks in advance,

Rob.

to be fair mate you would probably be better off going to your local installation place and just asking for a sky quad £10-15 normally.
After shipping you won't save much online...
