Hello to everyone, I got a problem with Cable Signal, I installed a 2 way splitter in my house, for 2 TV outs, the problem is that after I installed it, some channels are blurry and I don't like it, but only some channels has been affected, specifically from channel 2 to channel 10.
Can someone tell me, what's the proble? And any possible solution??
Thanks, sorry for my bad english, I'm not a native speaker.

Tell us about your set up, do you have any cable boxes, do you receive analog signals only?

Are the signals blurry on both TV's?

Can you remove the splitter and recover a sharp signal? If so, the answer is a bad splitter. If not, there may be a problem with your cable or one of your connections is not good.

Post the results before we speculate any further.

Usually when you see a picture issue and it is only related to channels 2-10 or lower, it is a bad cable jumper or fitting(end) or a splitter. Like said previously if you disconnect splitter and picture is fine it probably has something to do with what you have added. On the other hand it may be lack of signal and the splitter may be pushing it below your tv's tolerance. Also if you have good signal still on one tv but not the other that will narrow it down. Make sure splitter is connected properly and that all cables are tight and the ends are good.

Splitters and cables are built to different specifications:

Well, I'll explain a little more, yes, I notice the problem in both TV's, I don't have a TV box , and yes, I just receive analog signals, well, the main signal it's already splitted, by a 3 outputs splitter (1 out for internet, 1 for TV, and the one that comes to my room) before getting into my room, which has the splitter (2 outputs) before mentioned.
I just tested connecting it directly , and I noticed the plug is breaking apart, and there are wires popping out from it, I suppose it could be that the problem, and yes, the signal is still bad.
Any suggestions are welcome, I'm guessing, I should replace the plug?

Do you need any pics? I can take some, you just tell me.

I am assuming that you mean the cable. As a start yes replace the cable.

Well I was looking up and I actually meant the END, of the coaxial cable, it was breaking in pieces, so I'm going to replace it , tomorrow, because, today's holiday here so I haven't had a chance to buy anything.
