Tim brings up a very good point about a diplexer. Make sure that the
splitter used reads 5-1000MHz and not 5-860 on one leg and 950-2000+ on
the other leg.
With just your cable modem connected, what are the signal levels

Monster is getting to be sadly hilarious. Now, they are suing a
miniature golf course in Rancho Cordova along with the Rhode Island
woman who sells Monster Mini Golf franchises for trademark infringement.
CIAO!
