You should be able to just split the cable with a splitter. It will need to be a SWM splitter. If you have 4 boxes already, I have to assume you already have a splitter somewhere in your house. I would just run your cable to there if possible and switch the cable back and forth when you move the box. Otherwise yes, you should be able to just split at one box to go to another location. The only thing you would have to worry about is where the power insterter is for your dish, and to make sure it's always connected through the power-passing ports on the way to the dish.
Would I use this to split the cable before putting the DECA unit in? It does not look like the DECAs can be in-line.
In your opinion (or what difference would it make) to have the the wiring setup like I do, which is very much like your first diagram above, or just use the line feeding the genies and put a simple 1-to2 SWM spllitter?
Thinking of getting a few 3rd gen DECAs and some a few splitters to give that a try. Most likely will still use the power connection instead of USB as I've read the UBS is finicky if they work or not and already have power for them.
Are the 3rd gen versions the same except offering USB power option?
