I realize it gives me a 15db loss, and I am hoping that TW can just "turn it up" for me??? Otherwise I might go to an eight way splitter, but would rather not as I don't like the layouts I have found.
You might look into a powered splitter. Blounder Tongue (Spelling?) makes several and it might lower the overall signal loss. With it being residential and probably over short lengths it might not matter anyway.
