If you can live without the analog channels und the low-band then this
would be enough, but if you want to view the analog ones (e.g. MTV2
only comes on analog unscrambled) you have to put down 4 wires. With a
8x switch you could then feed 8 independant receivers. I don't know
what happens if you tune to a low-band channel and the switch can't
find a lnb connected to it....
