If not the best group to post, please let me know.

I have four rooms with DirecTV. I want to add another receiver to a room.
The room is adjacent to another room with a receiver already installed.

Can I simply get a splitter from the one coax to both receivers? Or do I
need to add an additional line from the dish?


"They" claim you need a special splitter, but I have used a regular splitter
from WallMart and it works fine (without any degradation of the signal).
