I need to move my computer room (incoming baby, last area of manhood being removed) out to the living room. We have Comcast cable / HSI and the way it's wired currently it's not going to be that efficient with me moving it. The current setup is a follows. From the box outside, there is a 6 foot RG6 line to a PCT 3 port splitter. From there one line is not being used, the second is about a 50ft line to the computer room where I have it connected to the cable modem, and the last is a 25ft line to the cable TV box.
With me moving the computer desk / cable modem out to the living room, it will be about 10ft apart from the cable TV box, and the easiest thing for me to do would be to split that line inside and have on to the cable TV, the other to the HSI. However, that's 2 splitters being used, and I'm willing to bet that I'll have some signal degradation that way.
I've thought about using a female to female RG6 connector to the 6ft line (4ft of it is underground) to the 25ft line that is being used as the cable TV line. From there, getting a 4 port bi-directional AMP / Splitter, and having a 4ft line to the TV, and about 10ft line to the cable modem. The Amp / Splitter would be just inside the house, making connecting it to a power supply not an issue.
Does this sound like a decent plan? I really don't want to dig up frozen yard to to make a continuous single RG6 line to the proposed splitter.
Is there a recommended 4-port bi-directional amp / splitter that is recommended (cost less than $50 please)?
Any suggestions / recommendations are more than welcome. Thanks in advance!
