I'll second that. I had what seemed like a technically capable cable company
tech come out some years ago. He made a point of saying that you need to use
splitters that go to 1Ghz. Of course of I have *stacks* 800Mhz and 900Mhz
splitters.

Now if someone could explain to me what the ratings on the "Satellite"
splitters mean. They're labeled as going to something like 2350 Mhz. Do they
behave differently than the 'cable' splitters?
