Oh I just remembered where I've seen one of those before (I have one on the side of my house).
I think that "splitter" is actually a combiner. There is a small amount of voltage IIRC passing between your satellite reciever box and the LNBF in your collector dish, I believe there is also some fancy regulating circut in there. I think the other side is filtered to prevent transient current from distrupting your UHF/VHF pleasure. Anyways save yourself the hassle, go to radioshack or wally world and pick up a real coax splitter, last one I picked up cost me less than $2. On 2/28/07, Steve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Looking at that I think DCPASS means that it's allowing Direct Current to pass on that side only. If your Satellite is in fact similar to a cable box I do believe there is some DC current flow.
