So something I noticed... I took the splitter out of the way and and put it directly into the Tivo box... The behavior was slightly better but still not close to clear. I also tried putting the splitter back in the equation and running the Tivo's line to a separate TV and the picture is fine. For some ASCII wiring diagrams...
Scenario 1) (wall outlet) ---> Tivo gives slightly better performance but still pretty fuzzy Scenario 2) (wall outlet) ---> splitter ---> TV gives fine performance I haven't tried a separate TV viewing program, I was curious on your thoughts about this...
