mushroom,

If you have 3 LNB's I would go for a 13/8 multiswitch, ie, 13 inputs and 8 outputs. The 13 inputs allow for 4 from each LNB and the one left over is for a terrestrial TV aerial if you wish to fit it.

You might have to change your LNB's so that they are "Quattro", each LNB should have 4 outputs, Horizontal-Low, Horizontal-High, Vertical-Low and Vertical-High.

However, depending on which type of multi switch you get you might find that they can accept signals from "Quad" LNB's.

It's not just a case of buying a multiswitch, you need to consider the LNB's and how they are going to integrate with the multiswitch.
