3-way Splitter Information for DIYers

[hojni]

I just successfully self-installed a 5th Joey in my 2H system. The only issue I had was getting my hands on a dish-approved 3-way splitter (they are currently on back-order). It turns out that Ideal makes a series of 5Mhz-2.4GHz splitters that out-spec the Dish approved splitters. Used it for this install and still have full strength MOCA readings on all Joeys. These are available at Home Depot and Lowes.

joeys communicate below 1Ghz... so just about any 2 way or 3 way splitter probably works. In fact, i believe one of my joeys is currently running on a 1Ghz rated splitter.

i believe it's why Dish can get away with using even RG59 for the client lines (as long as there aren't two taps)
