How many ways can you possibly beat this dead horse.  What was once a forum with interesting and educating posts is now a car full of clowns heading to the circus.... 
Splitting cable - degradation of signal
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 spli...
