I've been using the cheap-a$$ 99 cent for years, but i only recently began to wonder why some channels look so crappy on my Wega. SO, i decided to bypass the stupid splitter and run the cable line straight into my cable box. All of the scrolling diagonal lines disappeared!! But the only problem with running the cable line into my box is that i can't do that AND run a line into my mom's room. This is where the splitter's a problem. Are the splitters at RadioShack pretty reliable and of fair quality? If not, any other places where they're not overpriced?
