Re: Question re: splitters and quality loss

The line coming into the apartment is very short (not long enough to reach the cable box) so some form of extension would have to be added anyways (are there cable extension cords?) plus I would not mind having a cable line running into the bedroom as well, so one split is necessary regardless. According to the first post, as long as it's digital, signal strength is not as important, correct?

• You can use a barrel connector to connect another piece of RG6 to reach the TV.

• If you also want an out let in the bedroom, use a 2-way splitter.

• Signal strength IS important regardless if the signal is analog or digital.

Also do you plan on digital service, or analog too?

Nice thing about digital is that even if min signal but enough its still perfect, however with weak signal analog channels can look quite noisey.

Many system though not doibng away with analog yet... those basic teir channels are duplicated in digital... so if going for a digital package with box, then you won't really be looking at the analog chs likely.
