I have 3 receivers in my house and they all backfeed diifernet parts of the home. I have 1 of those receivers in my master bedroom that is currently hooked-up like this: Out to TV port on receiver goes to a 2-way splitter that in turn goes back downstairs to dist. panel and the other goes to my master bed tv. when it gets downstairs, it goes into a 3-way that feeds the kitchen, formal dining and garage. over the past few months, all at once the kitchen tv goes crazy and fuzzes and buzzes. but nothing happens to the other two tv's hooked-up to the 3-way or the master bed tv -- just the kitchen. i tried hooking up a different tv and running a different wire temporary down the stairs to that splitter -- no change for the kitchen tv. If i replace the 3-way when this happens, I is back to normal and lasts sometimes 2 weeks or 2 months. it's like the 3-way is burning out on that one port. I am using 1ghz Regal splitters throughout the whole house -- and only have this one problem.

any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated....

Look for a problem in the kitchen TV possibly leaking voltage out the antenna in connection.

put a volt meter on the ant in port on that tv and see if there is voltage, if there is, get the tv fixed. that is most likely the issue.
