I currently have a splitter with one input feeding 3 outputs for my TV's and 1 output for my computer/router. I would like to add an additional television output. What type of splitter do I need? Should I get on with 1 input and 5 outputs or should I take one of the existing TV outputs and split that into two signals.
Also, is there a preferred splitter that I should use?
a Bi directional splitter
radio shack and other type places should have them
go with a new bigger sipltter... dont split a split
you could either use a 5 way splitter or add and additional 2 way splitter as long has they are 1000 mhz. Any splitters that are less that 1000 mhz will eventually cause pixelation
The signal from the ONT is pretty hot. Hot enough to cause issues on TIVO. Before the last TIVO software update people had to add attenuators. A splitter to a splitter should work fine. I have a BiDirectional two way splitter feeding two four way spitters and have had no troubles. But if you "split a splitter" more than once, most drop the signal about 3.5db and sooner or later you will have issues. Running through two splitters we are only talking 7db attenuation and should be fine.
