Seems like I recall Hipcat mentioning something to that effect now that you mention it;-)
Sounds like a cheaper/easier solution.
I thought there was a 6 receiver limit on residential installs?
It's a power passing splitter used in Commercial applications. DPP LNBF, 42 Switch, 8 Wallys per output. IF you can find those splitters, they're gold. Sadly, only commercial has them.
