Is it possible to split satellite signals to have more than one receiver in a room?

Technically it is possible, but there's a problem. Different channels are transmitted in a 13v or 18v carrier on your cable. If you split the signal and both TVs are viewing a 13v or an 18v channel you should be fine, but if one of them tries to go to a 13v channel while the other is still on 18v, the higher voltage will dominate and you will not get your channel. The solution to this is called a 'multi-switch', which retails for $30-$50 for a 2-in/4-out switch. You will have to have two cables run to it, one for the 13v channels and one for the 18v channels, so this solution is only practical if you intend to use more than 2 receivers in a room.
