A polite way of implying that 99% of forum members are idiots.
But fear not, Italian "knows it all" and is certainly "smarter" than 99% of this forum.

Make sure you dont split anything past this 8 way splitter.. especially not he router.
Of course, if the OP does, he'll find out rather quickly whether it'll work or not.
It may work . . . it may not; the "make sure you dont(sic)" is sort of a lame warning.

They should all be home-runs and not a very long distance. If you have any especially long runs, you are ASKING FOR TROUBLE.
Right, keep everything under 1,000'.

You could have found a 6way splitter out there to slightly lessen your signal loss.
Let's see, an 8-port splitter will have 12-15dB loss at each port.
A 6-port splitter will have 12-15dB loss at four of the ports and 6-7dB loss at two of the ports.
A "6way splitter" certainly does not lessen the signal loss at all ports; and unless the OP knows he's operating "at the limit" an 8-port splitter makes a lot of sense.

Your post is worrying me because you say you have 4 TV's with a 4 way splitter. Your router is likely wired with a 2 way splitter beyond the 4 way. NOT GOOD if your plan is to replace the 4 with an 8. If you get rid of the 2 way and make a new homerun for the router, youll be OK.
I guess some folks can worry and likely and what if themselves beyond all reason.

Theres always the possibility the 8way can come defective from the factory.. I see defective splitters very often right outve the wrapper.
