I reread his post. You CAN use a SWM splitter. My setup which is an exact copy of the DTV install at my house is a 4 way splitter, one coax on one side and four on the other. The side with one coax goes to the LNB. The PI goes to a coax with the red line to feed the LNB. The other three go to the sat boxes. In my case two HD DVRs and one HD box. The DVRs only get one cable each and can record two channels at the same time.
You are correct. You "can" use a SWM splitter with a SWM setup, it's just not necessary unless you are using more than one receiver. In his case, with only 1 receiver, he would not need the splitter.
