I RECently went through this problem. All splitters are not equal. Buy a good quality splitter and one that is rated at 1 ghz if you can find it. Some cheapies are only rated at 1000 mhz and cannot properly handle digital signals.
I had Cox out and the better spitters fixed my problem.

This 'handyman' friend of my wife's (a really long story) rerouted the cable to the Living Room. In the process, he replaced the 2 way splitter outside with a 3 way splitter. One line goes to the living room, the next goes to the cable modem and the third goes to a distribution amp. On all the TV sets in the house, this is analog cable, channels 2 through 6 are virtually unwatchable due to diagonal noise. Outside the connectors are pretty tight, but the connectors that have been out there are weathered. If all the channels had problems, I'd suspect that a shield was bad. I have yet to do any trouble-shooting on this, but I'd like to get some ideas, or maybe someone has seen this before. It's Cox Cable. Thanks....Steve
