9 TVs. 2 cable lines. Need some splitter advice.	Can't Post

We've had the same analog cable network in our house for at least a decade. Probably a decade and a half. It's split off of two lines from the pole to 9 TVs. Some of the channels look pretty crappy, some don't, some channels don't work at all. We've gotten used to it, but it seems like it's been getting slightly worse over the years, so it's time for an overhaul, but I'm looking for some sage advice before I start anything.

What would be the ideal way of doing it? What kind of preamps and splitters should I use? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

It sounds like you need a service call. This is a not unusual for the signal to get bad over time. It us usually outside the house. The weather gets in a corrodes things. Your cable tech can come over with a signal meter and see where the issue is and repair it. It is usually just a fitting.

Your signal trough coax degrades every 6-8feet depending on how good your wiring is...i would get some outlets installed or you will need an amp to boost your signal on every other tv which i do not recommend!
