Any pics of your splitters?

Any pics of your splitters?

I assume these are Newmar standard issue. I have a second GE one on order, now that I removed the couch to get to the second one.

I can't read the frequency spectrum on it but I changed them out per my article to the ones compatible with digital coax which is what some campgrounds use. You also should put terminators on the unused ports.

Terminators killed the signal altogether. I order the ones you suggested.

Looks like the Newmar std 4 way splitter upper freq = 1000 Mhz. It will help if you go to a 2 way splitter assuming that is all you are using. A good 2 way will have about 1/2 the loss of a 4 way. Also I think it's been covered but putting terminators on any unused ports can also help.

I don't think that's possible, technically. Did you try the newer splitter with the wider frequency range? After all that's done rescan for channels.

Agree, a splitter with only the needed connections is ideal and then no terminators are needed either.

If a terminator happened to be shorted it could kill the signal, but otherwise would not expect loss of signal due to terminators. Best I can offer re splitter is go to a 2 way splitter with upper freq in the 2300-2500Mhz range. A good 2 way will have a output loss of ~ 3.5db I would guess the 4 way loss is double that.

I think they used that one because all the wires are on the same side. I did order bothe the 4 and 2 to try behind the couch.

Best you can do is quality splitters and terminators. Outside of that I expect crappy signal from campgrounds running coax probably split more than it should be, not amplified, and coax connectors weathered and corroded. It is odd to not get the same channels across all TV's, I still have the same problem at times. It's just not a good setup no matter what you do.
