Summary: Monster 2 Gig splitter is it worth it?
Review: 2 words, YOU BET!!!
I was having a problem with my newly installed cable TV.
I had light and dark horizontal bands that would come and go, mostly come.
I had read that the splitters cable companies use are cheap and unsatisfactory.
I decided to spend a few extra dollars and go for the Monster 2 Gig 4 way splitter.
I installed the splitter and VIOLA! no more bands, perfect picture!
I also use Monster Video 2 coxial cable for the connection from the wall to the splitter and from the splitter to my DVD recorder.
If your picture quality is lacking and you're on the fence not wanting to fork out a few extra bucks, believe me it is definitely worth it.

Summary: Monster Cable TGHZ-2RF - The perfect cable splitter!
Review: After making some recent upgrades in my primary audio/video system it became clear that the two way splitter that the cable company provided was simply inadequate to the task. Upon doing some research I determined that this particular splitter made by one of the industries most reputable manufacturers was going to have to be the way to go. Upon hooking up this superior two-way splitter in conjunction with Monster's MV3F2M NF Video 3 coaxial cables there was quite a wonderfully distinct difference in the picture on my new television.After seeing such a distinct improvement in the signal for my primary audio/video system I immediately went out and purchased another one for the computer room to use for both the cable modem and the television in that room. This is the perfect two-way splitter for either a television/cable modem hookup or a television with PIP (picture-in-picture) capability in conjunction with a cable box or satellite receiver! I highly recommend this outstanding cable splitter to any and all who're interested in getting the best picture available from their television sets or signal for their cable modems. The end results far outweigh the costs for this splitter! {ssintrepid}

Summary: 2 GHz Really was an improvement
Review: I have 4 televisions connected to one cable inlet. I had been using an older Gemini 3 way splitter rated 5-900 MHz which was put on the line when I moved in about 15 years ago. I switched over to this splitter because I am getting ready for a cable modem internet connection and wanted to be sure I had the most up to date stuff on the line. I was surprised to find that the reception on all 4 of my televisions has improved and since I have one more place in the line that this cable splits into two, I ran right out and bought a two way splitter by the same company for that line. I don't believe in spending extra $$ for something that I don't have to but this really was an improvement.

Summary: Great Splitter - low-loss is not more
Review: Much to my shock, this pricey splitter delivered a worse signal than the one supplied by my cable company. The technician showed me why: right on the front of this splitter is printed the loss outputs for each connection (-7.4dB and -9.6dB). These losses are much higher than the splitter supplied by Adelphia (-3.5dB and -7dB). If you had good luck with this splitter, you may have a better signal coming into your house than I do. For those of us with cable signals that leave something to be desired, I don't think this splitter delivers.

Summary: Solved my problems
Review: Previously Adelphia had setup my cable using two daisy chained 2 way splitters. This caused my HD signals to drop very frequently, especially on HBO. It was so bad that I couldn't watch the HD feed at all. I was told that this would not solve my problem from a local high end A/V store, but they were dead wrong. Once I replaced the 2 splitters with 1 4-way splitter my signal was perfect. In fact, the reception on the analog stations also improved dramatically. To ensure the best signal I have also added other hardware: 1 Motorola Drop amp, 1 Monster 4 way loss loss splitter, then a Monster PowerCenter HTS 2100 with video filtering.

Summary: Forget RadioShack
Review: The splitter my cable company installed degraded the signal on the bigscreen TV, especially on the lowest (2-6) and highest 54-60) channels. The cable tech wanted to sell me a powered signal amp for $32. It worked, but I passed and bought this model. The results were as good as the fancy booster, without the fuss.

Summary: Absolutely Phenomenal!
Review: This 2Ghz splitter is sooo good, I would easily pay twice the price for it and it would still be worth every penny! I have a TV tuner in my computer that has the cable signal passing through FOUR of these Monster Cable 2Ghz splitters, and there is virtually no signal degradation, most notably on the troublesome lower band channels like 2 and 3. The reception on our big-screen TV is the best it has ever been, too, using this splitter and the high-quality MC coax cable. _Before_ I installed these MC splitters, I was using the best gold-plated splitters available from one of your favorite national electronic parts suppliers around the corner, and the signal for channels 2 and 3 was basically dead on arrival with extremely snowy picture and noisy sound interference. Great job, Monster Cable! You've done it again by proving that nothing else compares. Thank you!

Summary: Great Splitter - low-loss is not more
Review: This is a great splitter and provided my system with a much better picture than the one's Adelphia provides. I own a very sensative 51" Sony HDTV so I need the best signal I can get after my split. This splitter provided that for me. The previous review is wrong & I'm not sure where those numbers came from but the front of my splitter 2Ghz Monster Splitter says low-loss from 5mhz-1Ghz = -3.5dB and from 1Ghz-2Ghz -4.9dB. What this means is that it's the same low-loss as the Adelphia splitters considering the Adelphia splitter only goes up to 1Ghz. Along with the extra bandwidth, the overall build of the connections are better as well. If you have an HDTV or mid-range to high-end Direct View, this is the splitter to get. For those splitting their Internet cable line to watch TV in your PC room, again, this is the one to get.
