I am trying to go from a 2way to a 3way splitter on the outside of my house.I have tried 2 splitters already and the problem is that I don't get internet,or on demand,or the telephone number on the TV.The TV pictures are great.Any help would be great .Thanks

The splitter needs to be bi-directional to the router to support the IP functions like caller id, On-Demand, etc. Said another way, the signal has to get to the STB from the router and be able to get back to the router for the IP functions to work.

You have to get a splitter that is rated 5-1000mhz, ghz or better in order for the VOD and menu and internet to continue working. Double check your splitters, and return/exchange them for higher rated ones if they don't match that description.

2.3ghz splitter should be fine, did you cap off any unused ports. if you leave some open ones you get signal bleed and that signal bleed may be your problem.
