Anyone with experience of Unicable?

Hi,
I have currently got a Sky dish with only one of the four LNB outputs being connected to my HTPC.
I am looking to upgrade the single DVB-S2 tuner card to a quad version, which would have meant pulling an extra three lengths of coax through the wall.
However - I have just come across Unicable technology, which claims that if you use a specialised LNB (with a single output), you can pass all four signals down a single coax and then split them off at the end.
You also need a Unicable compatible receiver for this to work.
This would seem to be the perfect replacement, therefore:

It would be great to hear from anyone that as actually used this before I take the plunge.
