Splitter connection question
When I have either of the following connections, my TV picture is clear:
(cable signal direct from wall, no cable box, using regular coax cable)
Cable --> TV
Cable --> DVD player/recorder --> TV
Cable --> Splitter --> TV
But when I do the following set-up, my TV picture has noise:
Cable --> Splitter --> DVD player/recorder --> TV
The reason that I set up this connection is that I will be adding a 2nd DVD recorder to the setup to record conflicting scheduled shows.
I have tested all the cables individually using the simplest setup (Cable-to-TV) and they all work fine.
Is my new setup too complicated for the signal to pass thru properly? Will switching to RG6 cables solve this? Any ideas? Thanks.
