    Any suggestions on a low-loss splitter?

    Yes with amps more is not always better. Yes I wouldn't use one if I was only splitting for 4 outlet or less with short runs. -7 loss from a single 4 way splitter is nothing when your pre-amp is +22. I would use a distro amp to cancel out the passive losses in a bigger system. So a +8amp if I...

    LED indicating when the Disecq motor is running

    Wasnt knocking it... I was talking about another meter I have called a Sat Buddy. Its small and only really works right for DBS stuff. But they can take a beating like nothing else. SSM22's are nice but drop them off a roof once or twice and they are all done :D

    LED indicating when the Disecq motor is running

    Sounds like alot of work... Why not just use a signal meter set to read LNB currrent? When the motor moves the current goes up..... Even my cheap-o Sat Buddy can read LNB current.
