Just a point. I may not have made it clear. I had the tech put in two
2way splitters and connect me to the first one. Hoping to gain 3db.

Where does the other leg of that splitter go to? And is that end
properly terminated?



Cable installers terminating things? You must be ****ing joking.
They would have to have an IQ above 25 for that.

*WAY* above your pay grade.

smart enough to install a terminator.


Probably customer service.



Probably unloading the defective converters from the service trucks.
