Hi,everyone sorry if im posting in the wrong section but this is the only one ive been reading upto now, and i must say what a massive help it is,anyway what i want to know if anyone can help is would connecting earth wires to my splitter improve its performance,since its got two screws for them i presume they must be relevant.im splitting cable to broadband and a eurovox max v.
