A very long run connected to an 8 way, opposed to a 6 can put the signal just beyond an acceptable low point. Again, depends on length of coax. You dont have to wait for the VZ splitter, even a new splitter can be defective. If the Regal is marked 5-1000 mhz, it should be adequate. Like I said, if any of the runs are SHORT, put them onto the 2way out of the 6.
