Fios triple play TV was terrible BEFORE this splitter!
Very Happy with this splitter. No doubt it is a little pricey, but it's worth it IMO. We just got FIOS Triple play January 2016. From day one, nothing but issues with the video signal to the two HD set top cable boxes. They would lose signal, some channels "were not available", HBO2 was frequently not coming through, USA & TNT were pixelated and stuttering/unviewable...the list goes on. It took me a couple months to realize it was the splitter. I had to swap the cables around on the splitter to help 'refresh' the signal, or something...but it would only last a day or two, if I was lucky.I planned on adding a third 'digital' set top box so I was going to need a splitter with 4 outputs anyway. {1 goes to modem}. I figured if I don't have anymore headaches with a VERY EXPENSIVE fios triple play, it would be well worth the $12.99. After a week, everything has been smooth. I haven't seen any channels "unavailable" either.I attached a photo of the piece of crap splitter verizon installed. I would love to leave a review on my verizon experience here as well! But I will be an adult and just say that my girlfriend & I paid a fortune for this triple play putz and they give me sub par equipment.I chose this particular splitter because the verizon splitter was 5-1675MHz and not working well.P.S. you can split the original signal from the fios connection/converter at least 8 times without issues. Meaning coax input from fiber optic converter into a 8-way splitter. How many splits from each of the 8 varies depending on length or run, quality of coax cable (not all RG 6 is the same!) etc.I hope this review helps someone who has/had similar issues. pps; I have one of the 4 cable outputs running 100ft to a digital set top box and from that split into 3 tv's. Works and looks good, even though I do not have the interactive guide.This splitter is the reason I am able to do anything with my fios service!Cheers, good luck.

Purchased this splitter to solve issues I was having in ...
Purchased this splitter to solve issues I was having in my Comcast set-uo and establish a MoCa network for my new Tivo's. Ditched DirecTV due to cost and not needing all the channels since we are becoming empty nesters and what my wife and I watch/record is almost entirely from the broadcast networks. This is sort of stage 1 of eventually becoming cord cutters.Anyway, pulled the DirecTV gearI had in my wiring box . Used splitters I had on hand and a MoCa bridge I had purchased from Amazon, and tried to get things enabled. MoCa was not working, So I configured the Tivo Bolt to talk wireless to the network, and put the TiVo Mini on an Apple Airport Express via ethernet. Network performance was lackluster, with the Mini not able to stream content from the Bolt.So, I ordered this splitter. I have the Comcast signal feeding thru a MoCa filter then into this splitter and using 3 of the 4 legs feeding my Cable Modem / Tivo Bolt / Tivo Mini. And, with that, I was able to set-up MoCa networking between the Tivo's. The Tivo Bolt acts as the bridge to the MoCa network.I interfaced the Bolt to my Apple Time Capsule (which is also my router) via ethernet. Ran set-up on the Bolt and the Mini and everything is now running smoothly. Each leg of the splitter is only -7.0db. Well built and seems heavy duty. Some splitters just seem flimsy. this thing has some heft to it.I'll be ordering a second copy to feed my upstairs outlets for additional Tivo Mini's.

It works as you would expect it to.
It works as expected. I can't say that it works better or worse than any other brand. As long as it works, I'm fine with it. Just keep in mind that you are "asking" one incoming cable line to feed four other outgoing lines and that the signals to those four lines might be very slightly degraded. But, if your connections are tight you are using quality cable, you should be fine.

BAMF 4-Way Splitter-A Quality Product
The splitter arrived quickly from Amazon and was nicely packaged. I purchased this splitter to replace the SWM splitter left by Directv after I discontinued service and installed an OTA antenna. Everything I read in forums said not to use the Directv SWM splitter and to purchase a quality splitter like the BAMF unit. I recorded the signal strength readings from my Samsung Smart TV on all channels I receive in Phoenix, AZ and noted a very small improvement in about 25% of the channels when using the new BAMF splitter. Example: the lowest signal strength reading I had was 74-76 using the old splitter. The signal strength on this channel was improved to 78-80 using the BAMF splitter. Visually, I see no difference in picture quality between the two splitters. The reason I purchased this splitter was to see if I could reduce the very infrequent pixilation that occurs on non-HD channels during fast action scenes. That infrequent pixelation still occurs even though the signal strength has improved. Bottom line it appears the BAMF splitter is slightly better than Directv's SWM splitter although in my case picture quality was not affected. You should realize though that I live less than 2 miles from the broadcast towers and receive 55 channels of which I only view about 15. This splitter might improve reception more for those who live farther from the towers. Overall, a very good product and I'm glad I purchased it.

I now have great uninterrupted TV reception on all channels
Finally! -- a solution to the T\V-picture "pixelization problem and occasional total picture dropouts that I was frequently experiencing on many of my Verizon FIOS channels. The original FIOS main splitter coming into the house was a 5 - 1,000 MHz unit and Verizon said that was enough. However, my research into my TV picture problem suggested otherwise. I learned that at least a 2,000 MHz should be used. Accordingly, I ordered the BAMF 4-way Bi-Directional 5 - 2,300 MHz splitter and immediately upon its installation, my problems completely disappeared and have not reappeared. I now have great uninterrupted TV reception on all channels. I was impressed with the construction quality of the BAMF splitter and especially with the BAMF on-line customer-support info and instructions resource on how to best use the splitter. Way to go BAMF.
