A:Answer - Rocketfish Splitter Specs: Typically rated 5–2050 MHz.
- Orby TV Requirement: Needs 5–2600 MHz or higher, because Orby’s satellite system uses higher frequencies for signal transmission.
- Result: The Rocketfish splitter does not meet Orby’s frequency requirement. It may block or degrade part of the signal, leading to unreliable performance.
