Yet another question to my friends the experts
I was wondering -- I have a left-over wide-band 4-way splitter w/ terminators and DC pass-through from a previous DirecTv installation :

Might I use this to pass the power source for my CM777 pre-amp and act as a splitter for my HDTV's in my home ? I understand we are talking about different frequencies here -- satellite vs. RF --- but the splitter DOES say 'wide band".
My logic is this : Rather than the power for the pre-amp inserted through the pre-amp's supplied splitter and then the OTA signals go through yet ANOTHER splitter (and source of attenuation) to distribute OTA signals to my HDTV's....I thought I might reduce one level of splitters (and source of attenuation).
A little research has informed me that there are a number of other people doing just that with no ill effect.
What say the experts ?
