Right now I've got my CATV line comming into my basement, going into a two way splitter. One way goes over to my computer for my cable modem and the other feed goes to this amp/splitter box (plugs into AC power) On a couple of my TV's I have these horizontal lines (not bad, just enough to be noticable) that are spaced about 12" apart that scroll up my screen. I did some isolating last night and figured out that I have the lines when the cable is plugged into the splitter box, but they go away if I have the line plugged right into the cable before the splitter box. I'm doin a bit of an overhaul on things anyway, so i wanna figure out how to do this right so I have best picture possible on my tv's. My modem and router are going to be moving into the utility closet where everything splits. So I plan on using a two way tap with one short feed going to the modem, and the other feed going to however the lines are splite to the rest of the tv's. I have six jacks that will be in use immediately and may add a 7th out in the garage later. What is the best way to split the signal up and retain picture quality? Should I have some kind of amp in the line between the two way tap and the splitter for the tv's? Any help/recommendations are appreciated.
