Re: Cable TV (cable line splitters)


It seems that you have a defective TV set (“B”) and a poor quality splitter (the first one – that splits to “A” TV set and the second splitter). The second splitter is fine. You have two ways to solve the problem:
- Try to change the first splitter with a better one (a good splitter has at least 25dB separation between outputs)
- If no success and if you have enough level you might separate the TV set “B” with a tap (at least –11dB loss). For this the diagram will look like: main line – tap (from the leg you go to TV set “B”) – splitter – TV sets “A” and “C”


> Problem is being caused by lack of isolation back thru the splitter and oscillation from the TV sets, try using a better splitter and maybe a matching transformer on the back of the sets. One good 3 way splitter will give you better >
