Splitting cable - degradation of signal


Would like to add a forth splitter of the incoming coaxial cable.  So far no discernible quality impact after 3 splits.  Not much demand overall.  How will adding a forth splitter to be used for modem and tv impact signal to tv and especially quality of hifi streaming.

Former cable tech - do you have home run lines to each location and the ability to add more home runs?  If you have home runs then you have the option of getting up to 8 ports with equal signal and return from a Unity Gain amplifier.  Passive splitters reduce the signal by specified amounts of loss which can be detrimental to the QoS (quality of service).  Unity Gain is like having the same incoming signal sent out to each line with no loss (passive splitter).
