Three way splitters?

[reilly9999]

I've done a few searches but can't find any write ups on the subject, so I thought I'd ask.
Just had the Hopper and one Joey installed, we will be adding two more Joey's later this year.
Has anyone experienced any signal degradation problems with the Dish splitters? I already had
Belkin RG-6 installed throughout the house, but when I looked at the splitter the installer put in, well,
I kind of thought "weak-link". It seems to work fine.
I'm curious if anyone has done a bench test for signal loss through the Dish supplied 3-ways; and if
anyone has installed an aftermarket 3-way and seen better performance at the Joey's?
Thanks for any thoughts,
Jack

Joeys only need 650-875 MHz, so the requirements are much lower than the previous Dish satellite equipment. It's why those client lines can now reuse existing RG59 cable in most installations.

Nothing to worry about as long as you are following the specs that Dish has posted in their wiring diagrams.

It's only an issue if he used a splitter that's rated for less than 900MHz.

I have a Dish supplied 3 way splitter in my system. No problems.
