I blew my 5 channel amp and my 5 speakers over a year ago and I could never figure out why. I knew it had to be cable tv related. I even bought a Furman power/surge protector. After buying the Furman it all blew again. I think I have just realized that the splitter was the problem because it wasn't passing the power through both ways. I don't understand this "power pass through" but the cable comes into my room and is split. One cable then goes to my computer and the other to my Furman then the cable comes out of the Furman to my cable tv box. Can anyone elaborate on my findings? Have I just opened Pandora's box and seen the light at the end of the tunnel after all this time???
Cable tv splitters
I have recently discovered that I have probably been using the wrong cable tv splitter for the last year or so. I kept getting a temporary scrambled signal and sound to my hdtv. I replaced my cable tv splitter today with a new one. Now the scrambling seems near gone. Can anyone give me any insight to a splitter? I have my cable line coming from outside to my listenig room where I split the signal to my cable hdtv box and to my computer modem. I read that my signal is cut in half with a splitter. Is it true I could be getting better tv reception without the splitter? What is a amplfied splitter all about? Would this be better for me to use?
