Proper T-"splitters" also make a huge difference compared to cheap plastic
ones. I didn't get DVB to work when we had two TVs and a VCR connected
with the plastic ones with DVB-box somewhere in the middle, but when I
switched to proper metallic ones and connected the DVB-card as the first
one in the chain the reception is next to perfect. The ones I got were 5e
at Gigantti.
