I will. Like Chip I have multible splitters that I installed. Some were replaced by the Comcast tech when I called them because of the "tiling" I was getting on my plasma. They checked the signal strength and found I was borderline. A few of the splitters were a cheap Radio Shack brand from waaaay back. Anyway, I did have to install a signal booster right at the point of entry and now everything works great, even with 4 splitters.
I think comcast doesn't want you splitting so they can charge you for them to do it. I believe the cable companies were not happy when they were stopped from charging for every tv in the house. It seems now that they have found a way around that. Starting this month i will have to pay extra for any more than the 3 devices I have. I pay for a hi-def box and just recieved my 2 "free" digital converter boxes. After this month even tv's I own that are already digital will not work without their converter. EeErrrhh!
