Re: [iO] 4200's really finicky on signal?
I believe every split on the 4-way splitter is -7.4dB. Going through 2 4-Way splitters is therefore -14.8dB, that's quite a bit of loss, no matter how expensive your splitter is.
I would recommend trying to reduce the splitters to 2 or 3 way splitters if possible. a 3 way splitter will have 2 high loss outputs and 1 low loss output. You could connect an additional splitter to that low loss output.
There should also be a way to measure signals on the cable box itself.
If your signals are that bad, or if it would be very difficult to rearrange the splitters, you may need to have a 2nd drop installed. |
