Which cable modem do you have? The Motorola's have a nice feature that a status page shows the signal strength coming in. It should ideally be 0db/mv, higher would cause the kind of problems you speak of on Ch 2 & 5. You could use that to decide if maybe you need higher attenuation to the TV feed.

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
