That's not even close to a really stupid question. For examples of REALLY
stupid questions, subscribe to the mythtv-users list.

Theoretically there comes a point where splitting degrades signal, but
like Greg, I'm at 4 with o ill effects. Two hints:

- make sure each cable end is well seated. Lose ones cause noise

- if you have any noise, consider running a daisy-chain ground wire from
your computer case to the ground screw on each splitter and (it it has
one) the ground on the TV. Some people have reported getting micro-current
potentials between stuff that can cause noise.
