Splitters for VM

Could someone more knowledgeable than me (That will be almost everyone) tell me if using a 4 way splitter but only utilising 3 of the connections is detrimental to the signal? I've just had the vm guy round and he said it was. I've been using a 4 way this way and all seems fine!
Thanks in advance.
 
Are you talking about VM cable splitting? You've posted in General Satellite forum.
You're supposed to use a terminator on any unused ports to prevent noise but if it works don't worry about it.
Satellite cable can't be split unless you have a Unicable LNB.

Hello mate sorry if this is in the wrong forum but just seen this thread,I am running a Zgemma with vm the other day we had an engineer round to change router,while he was here he took the splitter out I don't know if he clocked the Zgemma or not but I had to buy another but now I can't get a picture on VM channels I'm getting a pretty good signal of 70-75% is it a special splitter I need,it's just a 2 way with one feed to the router and the other to Zgemma

Cheapo splitters are a waste of time and money, it needs to be a Tratec, Technetix or Labgear, those crappy ones sold at B&Q etc don't work.

You left the Zgemma there while VM were visiting?
