remember that the splitter in the comcast box is still theirs.. and you can't mix signal so if you have a cable modem it will need a new wire run to it and back out to the cable box.. but thats easier than running half a dozen wires to all your tvs

also like rick said you may have splits inside your home that drop the power and the splitter that you install will rob power from your antenna

a good thing to do is instead of replacing comcast's splitter with another splitter .. that you use a distribution amplifier .. easy to find on Amazon for about $35 and it will boost your signal enough to let you get it to your TVs .. and you will probably need to run another coax to that distribution amp to power it...

also buy a box off ebay to hang next to the comcast box and mark it OWNED BY HOME OWER or something like that and do everything in that box.. they cost $15 and it means comcast won't come out and cut your wires off .. but if they do you can make them repair it.
