he CM 3044 is an old distribution amp that has a gain of 22 dB, but each of the 4 outputs is only up 8 dB which doesn't compute in today's terms. Must be a high loss split as compared to the CM 3414.

My interpretation is that it's a 30 dB amp with an integrated 4-port splitter with about 8 dB insertion loss.

Early generation tuners were much less capable of dealing with impaired signals so it might be a factor.
