On some cable tv installations that have cable internet, when you install the Channel Vision amplified splitter (CVT-28PIA), the picture gets worse instead of better.

We do not completely understand this problem yet. The one thing we are sure of is that the installations that have this problem also have cable internet (on in a few cases, interractive cable TV, which uses the same technology). The solution is to use a separate amplifier and splitter, like this:



Note that this is how the cable internet folks want you to hook up your cable modem anyway. This way, your cable modem is only one 2-way splitter from the outside world; This keeps the attenuation of the internet signal as low as possible.

Again, we're not sure why, but the key is using a separate amplifier and splitter, rather than the combined CVT28 unit.
