Shared HD-DTH connection

[Santy]

I saw an advt of Videocon addressed to society secretaries. They were offering 30% discount on new HD STB for shared connections (ie one antenna, multiple STBs). It helps to remove the clutter on the terrace and helps save cost too, for the residents. A good idea. But does the PQ take a beating in such setups? Do they have any special antenna or a signal booster sort of thing?

Just curious to know, no plans to talk to my society about this

My guess is it would be with better LNB(s?) which is capable of multiple connections.
I have recently upgraded to Tata sky HD plus and the Dish and LNB were replaced with bigger and newer one which had multiple inputs.

As I am staying in a apartment building where Tata Sky is installed in the same way. I think they use some sort of booster or etc but the signal strength and signal quality is 100% so no issues on that account. Our society only allows dishes on the balcony and as I do not have access to a balcony which points south so I have limited options for DTH.

In my building we have a 4 feet wide Tata dish, which is connected to a MDU (signal amplifier ) and signals are distrubuted same like cable tv.
