[QUOTE="Agentman42, post: 485939, member: 37952"] It depends. What is your signal strength coming into the house is now? One way to try without metering is to split your signal twice. Once split for your cable modem and to another splitter. The other splitter will feed your mac and your set-top box. While this "may" work, you need to find out what your signal strength is before deciding what to split. The cable comanies "should" give you enough of a quality signal to split evenly three times, but sometimes... The signal may be good for an even two way split for your cable modem since it "requires" good signal. Otherwise, you may need to invest a few dollars into an amplifier. Get your cable tech to come out and get you a reading. Ask him to show you the reading. Ask him what the reading "should" be. Ask him the questions about the splits. He "should" know. [/QUOTE]
