I need an Arnold Schwarzenegger plug

Go to Radio Shack, you'll get slightly less B.S. than you would from Arnold.

Probably cheaper at Lowe's. ...Jim Thompson

OK, that was uncalled for. There I was, innocently sipping my coffee, when out through my nose...

You'll have to wear a female disguise, and meet him in the back room of an adult book store. Be sure you don't turn your back on him! ;-)

Yes, I keep forgetting they carry that stuff.

Most folks never bother with terminations. I've done it both ways- with and without terminating the unused ports and it doesn't make much difference. For the purists, it is supposed to keep the characteristic impedance of the line balanced so there are no signal reflections at impedance discontinuities (i.e. signal doesn't say "I'll be back...").

Try to get a splitter that has the minimum number of ports that you need. The signal strength is divided among the number of ports - used or unused. If you have multiple tiers of splitters, you divide your signal at each splitter again. Try to keep things like cable modems with as high a signal as possible. Amplified splitters are another can of worms since most cable systems are bidirectional these days. If you're just using a rooftop antenna, depending on your signal strength, a simple inline amplifier or a amplified splitter is worth the money.

Yep, and nice crimper tools as well. I did my whole house using Pass & Seymour/Legrand/Lutron snap-in-the-wall-plate stuff. ...Jim Thompson

I think I'll be Haydn under the table, and Dwayne Johnson says he'll be = the=20 Rachmaninoff.

Paul=20

And I'll Handel the Chopin Liszt...

Be VERY careful! He's looking for another housekeeper.

OK, but he tried to con me into thinking he was a republican.

He's just another RINO.

A PW'd RINO.
