Negative Positive
Title: Very shiny
Review: I am staring at a US Govt bid document. I can't believe they are wasting our tax dollars on this shiny object. Cable and over-the-air TV signals only go up to 1GHz, so the rest of the 2GHz bandwidth just lets in the interferors eg. cell phones, microwave ovens etc which actually mess with the TV signal. It's true there can be extra loss in the different ways a signal can be split, but it really is unnoticeable. It's more important to minimize the number of connections, cable length and use good cable and connectors in your setup. However the 24K gold does look great and if I had to have a splitter exposed to view, this one would surely impress my friends and neighbors, just like my other gold connectors, Bose speakers and monster speaker cable. That might be worth the extra $20.
Is the review positive or negative?
