| Re: digital cable and splitting and FYI, you want to have between -7 and +12 at the outlets. Shoot for a -7 to 0 for the cable modem outlet first, and worry about the digital box after. Don't amp this line, because it's an outside problem. If they happen to fix it, and you keep the amp on, you'll end up with more problems because of too much signal.
The SNR of 23 or so is pretty bad, it means you have a lot of noise and ingress on the line. I'm guessing you probably have a cut or something like that somewhere outside. You did check the ground block, right?

| Re: digital cable and splitting Well, thanks for the advice. I guess I have to do battle with customer service now. I called a few days ago and was told things like "now, I'm not the one to be asking this" and "if you want to add TV's, the best thing is just to have a tech come and install them for you at $35 per outlet." Since I'm going to have them come out anyway, will I need a filter for other outlets?
Thanks,
Adam | |
