Do they work??

Got one from Toolstation and I only get 1 signal though. But it only has a DC pass on one side. I see others with DC pass on both sides with reviews that indicate they seem to be variable.

As far as I know, you can only use a splitter on unicable LNB's.

I see that many one/two star reviews are from people who don't understand that you cannot split the ouput from a conventional type LNB to feed 2 recievers.

Are you doing something different by using a unicable LNB?

Some people may be using them to split cable signals and one additional splitter on cable imposes too much signal attenuation. For Virgin cable they may need an active splitter.

Or are you trying to split a signal from an aerial?
