General rule of thumb: if you have more than 2 devices splitting your
cable signal: get an amp. Make sure it's wideband enough, and if you
have PPV or Cablemodem service, that it's bidirectional. Put it as
close to your incoming tap as you can possibly manage.
If you want to pay the cable company: have them put it in instead.
The only thing you might split before it would be a cablemodem.
Getting everything set just right on this front isn't trivial, but wil
make a noticeable difference in your analog cable reception.
Cheers,
