Get the cheapest one you can find (i.e., maybe 98¢) and give it a try. I
think you'll be satisfied.

I've got two TVs hooked up to our cable and these TVs have to meander
through about three (cheap) splitters each. Download speeds vary between
5Mbs and 10Mbs.

If you try a cheap splitter and your TV's fuzzy, missing channels, whatever,
or your computer acts flakey, well, you can try the recommended splitter
(certainly not the Monster Cable brand).- Hide quoted text -

"If you try a cheap splitter and your TV's fuzzy..."

My solution to fuzzy TV's on the second floor was to run a single
cable from the splitter in the basement to an amplifier in the attic
and then split the amp's output to the 3 bedroom TV's.

It's just basic cable in the bedrooms, so I don't need bi-directional
components.
