    Splitter Question

    ADVERTS 1
    Can someone tell me what splitter I should be using for the following setup:

    I have highspeed and HD with comcast.

    Main line comes in and I have it split. One cable goes to attic and one cable goes to my movie room. It is joined two times using RG6. I currently have a spliter where the main cables comes in and 3 outputs. One is not being used. The movie room is using the 3db and the attic is using 7db. I'm sure this is not so good.

    Please advise what splitter.

    Thanks

    Not really following your question too clearly but:

    Ideally you should use as FEW splitters/connections as possible. It is also good to put terminators on any unused splitter ports.

    If you must run another splitter downstream from the first, then plug the line going into the 2nd splitter into the line out that has the higher gain.

    You dont mean higher gain you mean less loss

    But I to am confused on what you have? Could you try to explain it a little different?
