Hi All,


Currently have 3 TV's and Comcast cable modem. The splitter in the
cross space has a total of 5 ports.


1. Comcast in
2. Cable modem
3. TV
4. TV
5. TV/DVR


I would like to add an additional TV.


Can I just purchase a 6 port cable splitter ?


Will it reduce the quality of the signal ?


Any input would be appreciated.


Chances are that you could just add another (make that a high quality)
splitter to address your issue. In some cases you ma need an amplified
splitter if the signal is weak.

This is the direction I was thinking. I suppose it's all relative to
the signal strength that I currently have. Have not had any problems
to date.

There has been some discussion in this thread about amplifiers. Do
amplifiers need an external power source ?
