I currently have two WB68's and want to add a SWM8 to the mix. Can I just add additional high frequency splitters (making sure to match 13v to 13v, etc...) to the mix to connect the SWM8? If so does anyone sell a 1x3 or even 1x4 splitters? My current setup is that the output of my dish goes to four 1x2 high frequency splitters which fed the two WB68s.

Yes it will work.
I use Skywalker splitters:

Another option would be to replace one WB68 with a WB616 and then add the SWM where the other WB68 was.

That's exactly what I did. It was an easy plug-and-play as the original install already had all the cabling in place with 4x 2-way splitters to parallel the two WB68's. Of course I took the opportunity to clean-up the mess of cables that was on the attic floor, but otherwise, it was a no-brainer.

Thanks for confirming that this will work. I thought about switching out the WB68 with a WB616 but it's cheaper for me to just buy 4 new splitters than a new WB616.
