<![CDATA[Cable Internet Question]]>We're trying to run a tv and cable modem out of the same outlet. We bought a cheao splitter and when it is hooked up, the tv works good, but the internet is intermitent. Where can we buy a good splitter, or what else could we do?

I would say call them, since it's free and they won't leave till it works perfect for ya, easiest way to go.

but like chuck said.. if you get an amplifier it should work a lot better.

Unhooked that tv, and internet works fine now. the splitter is the cause of the problem. Where would I find this S&S electronics at?
