Can satellite 5-3GHz splitters be used in place of the 5-1GHz splitters? During my research I have read both yes and no. Will it work OK but it is best to use the 5-1 GHZ when appropriate, etc? Thanks for all that respond.

Sorry but I don't understand your questions. What are you trying to do? If you are trying to split a DISH Network signal you can't except in very limited applications. You use Multiswitches for increasing the number of receivers off a single DISH.

You can only split Satellite signal BEFORE the mutiswitch.. if your trying to split it after it wont work.. if it does you will have problems

Yes it can the 5-3GHz and 5-1GHz refers to the bandwidth that the splitter can handle so a 5MHz-3GHz can be used in place of a 5MHz-1GHz splitter, but not the other way around.
