No it isn't.

How do you know that? The cable company in question has HD channels up to 1370 (I just checked their lineup).

1370 what? Not 1370 MHz, that's for sure.

Maybe his splitter was bad.

The old splitter was able to pick up some HD channels fine on the low end, as well as all of the other non-HD programming offered by the cable company. So I don't think it was bad.

Sounds to me as if it was. Increased series inductance can attenuate
higher frequency signals. My bet is that putting in a new 1GHz splitter
would have fixed the problem as well.

When it was replaced with a 2 GHz splitter (cost was about $9 if I recall) all channels worked fine.

So if you had put in a 4GHz splitter, you'd be claiming that a 4GHz splitter
was needed? Poor logic.
