Okay. From all of the info, I would now say that the problem is that the number of splitters is the problem. A single 4-way splitter would introduce less loss than a 3-way cascaded with a 2-way, even though you would have to run another coax to the 3-way location from the 2-way location. Thus:



The single splitter will definitely result in a stronger signal to the digital box, and now that I know you have the splitters before the digital box, dropp-outs is exactly the right term.

Oh, by the way, to John W.

1000MHz and 1GHz are the same thing.
