video noise during internet activity
I'm a Comcast customer with a Surfboard 5100. From the wall of my apartment I use a two-way splitter, one port goes to the modem and the other to an RCA VH140 4-way amp. All four amped ports are used, and any unused cable connectors in the system are capped.
Nominal picture quality is good to excellent depending on the channel. However, any activity by the modem will always inject one or more bands of horizontal noise into the video. If it's a big file download, the disruption can cause the video signal to be dropped by the receiver entirely.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
