Review on DirecTv MSPLIT4R1 03 Approved 4 Way Splitter by Christopher Isaac

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great, but you need to know how to connect it (not as obvious as you think).

Works as intended if you know how to connect it. A standard (common) splitter will not work with a DirecTV satellite signal, but it will work if you know how to use it. What I didn't realize upon arrival was that the first connector (the one marked 'Power Pass') had to be plugged into a working DirecTV decoder in order for the other three connectors to work. I originally split the signal into three different rooms, but didn't actually have a box connected to the line end of the first port. No signal was detected on the other two ports. When I added a field for the "Power Pass" port to the end of the line, VOILA, everything worked.

Pros
  • Ground connection present
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for elderly
