Around here, Cox uses splitters on which the back cover is soldered into place.
 Even with good-quality cable, I was having some interference problems with TV
and flaky cable-modem service.  One of their techs replaced my cheapie splitter
(on which the lid is usually just glued in) with one of theirs, and the
problems cleared right up.  I've tried finding similar splitters in the local
stores, but have come up empty.
