I have a three way splice from the cable company, and would like to
splice it yet again for a fourth television. Should I go out and buy
a 4-way splice, or can I just hook a two-way on to an existing run?


Your cable company will change out your splitter. Cheap is not better
in this case. Something compatible with the cable company is best.


Compatible? This isn't an automobile engine being installed. It's just
a lousy splitter!


I was amazed to learn a "dumb" splitter can go bad. Compatible, I mean
what the cable company uses.


Compatible with the frequency range used.

Put a lousy splitter on and they say; "the splitter is the problem".
