Just a point. I may not have made it clear. I had the tech put in two

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.

right good question...OP, when you had the analog signal, was there
significant ghosting?

digital boxes might tolerate a WEAK signal but they are intolerant of
reflections.

Why would there be a reflection in a closed cable run?
