Chaining splitters is not the best way to do wiring , to much signal losses and signal reflections in the system causes problems , pixalation , signal flucuations .

For your reception situation I recommend move the CS2V antenna to above the roof so reception is not blocked to the , north west , west , south east.

To receive the following Digital Tv Channels with a Stronger signal and --> more important --> better Signal Quality.

The Digital Broadcast Tv tuners in Tivo's , take a very dim view of poor signal quality. With the antenna in the attic.

The better the signal Quality is , the better the Tivo's will display a nice steady picture. With the antenna above the roof.

WCTI ABC , Live Well Network , This Tv.

WITN NBC , MyNetwork , Me-Tv.

WNCT PBS.
WUNK PBS.

WYDO FOX.

WEPX ION , Qubo , ION Life.

WFXI FOX.

((((The best way to do coax wiring is have - 1 splitter - that all the separate coaxes is connected to and no other splitters.))))

If you will not do the above 1 splitter recommendation , then.

I recommend do the system like this.

Coax from the Antenna above the roof to the 2 way splitter.

One output of the splitter goes the short distance to the Tv.

Connect a Channel Master CM3410 distribution amplifier to the other output of the 2 way splitter close to the 2 way splitter.

The output of the CM3410 distribution amplifier is connected to the coax that goes out to the location of the 4 way splitter.

At the location of the 4 way splitter , only have a splitter with the required outputs.

If 2 Tv's are connected , use a 2 way splitter.

If 3 Tvs' are connected , use a 3 way splitter.

If 4 Tv's are connected , use a 4 way splitter.

Using the correct splitter with no unused ports will reduce signal reflections in the system.

The cleaner the signal , the better the Signal Quality.

The cleaner the signal quality , the Happier the Tivo's will be.

The Happier the Tivo's are , the Happier You Will Be.

___________________________________

As always , trees and tree leaves do a good job of , reflecting , reducing , blocking , Digital Broadcast Tv reception , and reducing signal quality and so do attics , roofs and houses , including your own roof and house.

It is best the install the CS2V antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception including your own house.
