As for splitters, this will do, note it must have a frequency rating to 2GHz or more (2.4GHz indicated for this one). This one is also a diode steer one which means either port can power the LNB, it is also accpetable to have a single DC pass port splitter, however only the STB connected to the DC pass port will power the LNB, which is fine, but that STB needs to be on for the other STB/DVB-Scard to work, ie the LNB must get its power from somewhere.
