I am in Billerica. Good point about the splitters, I hadn't thought of that. I do have several splitters, Myth shows the signal at 80% but connecting direct without splitters is worth a try.

If comcast is using IRC, should I use the IRC option in the cable selection?  Would that make a difference?

Thanks
