5.0 out of 5 stars 2 GHz Really was an improvement, April 12, 2001

This review is from: Monster Cable TGHZ-3RF 3-Way Low-Loss RF Splitter for TV and Satellite, 2 GHz (Electronics)

I have 4 televisions connected to one cable inlet. I had been using an older Gemini 3 way splitter rated 5-900 MHz which was put on the line when I moved in about 15 years ago. I switched over to this splitter because I am getting ready for a cable modem internet connection and wanted to be sure I had the most up to date stuff on the line. I was surprised to find that the reception on all 4 of my televisions has improved and since I have one more place in the line that this cable splits into two, I ran right out and bought a two way splitter by the same company for that line. I don't believe in spending extra $$ for something that I don't have to but this really was an improvement.

This review is from: Monster Cable TGHZ-3RF 3-Way Low-Loss RF Splitter for TV and Satellite, 2 GHz (Electronics)

This splitter was set-up as part of a configuration that splits one line from the street into three and then into sixteen ports and a line to the cable modem for a fraternity house. I used this brand of splitters and a moterola amplifier all the way through, and the results were amazing. The picture quality is crystal clear, even when almost all of the ports are in use, and the internet is blazing fast. Compared to the set-up we used to have, with some cheap splitters and a radio shack amplifier, these pieces are WELL WORTH THE SMALL EXTRA COST!

The point many people need to understand when purchasing a splitter is that spitters split you signal. Every split that occurs reduces the quality of that signal. Buying a better 2 GHz splitter such as this one may reduce the loss of signal quality, but do not expect miracles, after all, you are still splitting a signal without adding any power yourself.

The splitter probably will not improve quality in the following conditions:

1) You replace a splitter with a better one, but your tvs already have the best quality they can with the split they have.
2) You replace a splitter with a better one, but the tvs require a rather low signal anyway, so any split would go unnoticed.
3) The signal arriving at your house or apartment is already weak, in which case the splitter would not do any good.
4) You are adding a splitter to a system that does not have one.

In these conditions, you may see the best improvement:

1) Have a high signal demanding system, such as digital cable, tivo, and hdtvs.
2) Have your cable split to the limit, very low quality video when normally splitting.
3) Have an internet line, one of the best parts of this splitter is for internet usage/tv splitting, may see an increase in speed of internet.

Given these criteria in mind, I had a good experience with this device. I moved into a new apartment, which had relatively bad signal. I wanted to split it three ways, into my computer tv tuner, my digital cable box + tv, and a tv in my bedroom. I purchased this teamed with an 18 db signal amplifier (what actually does add power to a system). The signal clarity improvement was minimal, which I believe is because my apartment building does not have a very good signal before it even reaches me. However, before adding these devices, I could not plug into my computer without completely losing my signal to the point i could not watch it. This was of course with a cheaper cable company provided splitter. After replacing the splitter and adding the amp, I could set my computer up, and have all three devices on and using the cable without seeing a single drop of signal degradation.

Think what you will, but I say this device is a noticeable improvement. It all depends what you think a signal improvement is worth and taking the chance that you will meet the criteria for the signal improvement. There is no for sure way to predict if a better splitter will improve your video quality. You just have to try it and find out.
