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.

It would be best to split off the cable modem before an amplifier
(cable modems need a bidirectional connection, and may not work well
with an amplified one). That is, the first thing on the incoming cable
should be a 2-way splitter with one output going directly yo the cable
modem.


Right, but note that he already has that.

Then you can connect the 4-way splitter to the other output.

Do you have digital cable?
