Have you considered using a different or larger font ?

I've done that on occasion. Yeah, I probably should change it here,
too.

Right now I'm having thoughts of creating a mailbox "mrnrnmrnm".

I would use a 3-way splitter or a bi-directional amp. You can pick up a
multi-output bi-directional amp at radioshack for ~25.00.

A bi-directional amp is important if you have digital services on the line
(i.e. cable modem/digital TV).

Technically, these amps are not "bi-directional." They are an amplifier in
the downstream direction with a bypass path to allow signals to flow
upstream. You don't want an upstream amp, as it will interfere with the
power control system in modems and set-tops. The bypass path also adds a
little loss to the upstream path.

While an amp sounds like a good idea, it isn't always helpful. If the
signal is strong enough when it enters the home, and amp can end up
overloading the receivers causing more harm than good.

For example, if you put a 15dB amp ahead of a 7dB splitter tree the signal
at the receiver will be 8dB hotter than what entered the home.

On top of all this, amplifiers reduce SNR as well, so they can cause
problems if the feed has poor SNR.

It's best not to install an amplifier unless other methods to improve
signals have failed, and then only after SNR and power measurements have
been taken.
