RE: Question on cable signal loss vs splits

We have a total of 5 outlets. Four from a 1x4 splitter (for 4 TVs) plus one for the computer, which originates from a 1x2 splitter outside before the 1x4 splitter in the attic for the TVs. I'm disconnecting one and adding a new one, i.e., the net no. of outlets will remain the same.

Signal strength doesn't seem to be an issue now as I have no problems with analogue or digital TV or cable internet. Would it help to short the coax connectors on unused outlets?



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