AMEN!
My incoming signal hits a 6-way splitter, and then home runs out to
the TVs. I have a TV co-located with my internet, and the modem is
split out at that point

I read the first link, but I am not sure about one thing.....,

Does the signal loss through a splitter depend on how many devices (TV's,
for example) are actually connected to the splitter and drawing a signal?
Or, is the signal loss just based on the number of splits in the splitter
itself?

For example, if I have a 4-room apartment that I want to pre-wire, does it
matter whether I use an 8-way splitter and put two lines in each room or use
a 4-way splitter and putting one line in each room?
