I'm still a bit confused, and coming late to the thread. no splitter (tivo line) -> tivo = not close to clear but .. splitter (tivo line) -> other TV = fine? A simple splitter by nature, degrades signal quality. ( http://www.swhowto.com/VideoLoss.htm ) I'm not clear whether you've ever been satisfied with the wiring, or recently added more splitters, etc .. Irregardless, I'd suggest just forking over $30-50 on bidirectional amp. Or, haggle with the cable guy, maybe they'll provide it for free. A mere 8dB gain here at my place, fixed ghosting on one TV (ch 11), and another TV had several go from "good" to "perfect". FWIW - as I was rewiring, to speed things up, I grabbed an old coax cable with push-on F-connectors. I used all 3' of it from the wall to digital cable box, suddenly 15 of ~200 channels would intermittently pause w/"one moment please". Turns out it was an RG-59 cable, not RG-6. (I can't explain why that RG-59 was unsuitable, don't really care to investigate .. RG-6 = simple fix). -Jay
