The DDU is good if you have multiple sat boxes as it allows you to
distribute the IF feed from a quad LNB, along with UHF/FM/DAB and
modulated output from one of the decoder boxes. With only 1 decoder box
you'll only be getting RF modulated composite quality on all your
secondary TVs, which is probably ok if they are small sets, but could be
pretty lousy on, say, a 40" LCD/Plasma...

Something like http://www.kat5.tv might be a better bet for
SD distribution?
