Question on cable signal loss vs splits

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I have to relocate the cable outlet for our primary TV. I'm trying to avoid a major cable pulling job. Does it matter whether I tediously re-route the existing leg from the 4-way splitter in the attic to the new location (25 ft), or just split the cable (to a PC) in the room on opposite side of the adjacent wall.

The cable service simply splits the main signal to provide the no. of outlets needed, so why not just add a splitter where its most convenient? Does one 1x4 splitter provide superior signal to two 1x2 tee splitters in parallel?

As the guy who jumped off the 20-story building shouted as he passed the 10th Floor "So far..so good!"
