How do I get the best Cable TV signal and good Cable Modem service?
The best strategy for keeping a good strong signal is to keep the splitters to a minimum. When that can’t be done, then an amplifier is your best bet. But even when using an amplifier you need to be very aware of where your cable modem is installed – if you have one. Usually the cable company will install a splitter very close to where the cable comes into the home, and run one connection to the cable modem, and the other connection to the TVs in the rest of the house. Depending on how well your cable modem works, you may need an amplifier for the cable modem AND the TVs, or you may need it just for the TVs. The basic idea here is that if your cable modem works well, then you do NOT need an amplifier for it. You will be best off by amplifying only the signal going to the TVs/VCRs/Cable boxes in the rest of your house.
