Re: [CATV] Trouble with Splitter and Pixelation
So you are saying whereever you move the cable modem to the cable box pixelates?

@rcn.com | Yes, whichever cable box shares a splitter with the cable modem pixelates. I'm wondering if some sort of booster is needed. |

| No, boosters don't work.
My guess is, you have a bum cable modem.
I would toss the RCN supplied modem and get a D-Link DCM-202, it's WAYYYYY better than the crappyness RCN gives.
