| reply to jaa Re: [iO] 4200's really finicky on signal?
Thanks for the replies, didn't get email notification for some reason or I would have been back here sooner :-(
The main 4 way is completely tied up. I just changed the set up so that I have a two-way from the main 4-way and one leg of that two way is going to the boxes. Have to have another splitter at the actual boxes, they need to be in the same room due to the fact that they'll be running a DVR server. They are currently hanging on but CV says the signal is marginal.
They did tell me I can get an amp but don't know what model they usually use. Anyone have any suggestions?
I feel like I'm doing a lot of splitting but honestly as I told the phone rep in a house my size with a 2 tuner DVR server and 3 televisions and a cable modem (plus lots of other outlets currently hooked up in some way), it's going to be tough to not have splitters and to do all home runs to the main. Plus with even 2 splitters the box won't work if both splitters are 4 ways.
Hopefully the amp helps, if not I'll have to get a kick butt main splitter and run like 7 home runs to it... |
