I threw in a 2 way splitter, to see if it worked, and got the same results.
How were you using the splitter? Did you add the splitter after the combiner but before the preamp input as an attenuator, or did you replace the DB8e combiner with a splitter in reverse as a combiner?

I put a splitter in the line, midway to the house
Why, to act as an attenuator? Did you insert it between the preamp and the power inserter? Is it a power passing splitter?

Am I over-powering the tuner? It's most certainly sounding like it. Is there an easy way to test that?
Yes, insert an attenuator between the power inserter and the tuner.

How do I test my Titan 2 High Gain Preamplifier (CM7777) preamplifier to make sure it is working correctly?
