mirv	# Posted: 9 Aug 2008 12:21 I installed a two way splitter in my cable line ahead of a 4 way splitter. One line feeds my modem and my roadrunner service is great. My problem is with poor reception on channels 02 through 13. Stations are snowy/fuzzy/static. How can I fix this???

Make sure there are no open ended lines. On my system at home, I find the picture quality is much better if I use the three line AV input signal from the DVD/VCR to the TV and set the TV to use that signal instead of the normal channel 3 or 4.
helpdeskguy	# Posted: 11 Aug 2008 09:56 i assume one line off the 2 way is going to the cable modem, and the 4 way feeds four tv's. are all 4 sets fuzzy on the lower channels? if so you might want to check the cable that connects the 2 way and the 4 way splitter. try replacing it with a good quality rg-6 cable. if that dont work you could try an amp in place of the four way or have the cable company come out and pinpoint what the issue is.
