I do know the original cables in the house was wired with a series of splitters. I was told to put a multisplitter near the outside box and run individual wires from that one splitter to the outlets in the walls. Sounds like an expensive proposition. Wires at best Buy are expensive but I found cable spools at Home Depot a lot more reasonable.
The Tech and I were under the house in the crawl space, and he couldn't believe how many splitters there were. I had not done any of it.

As we got out from under the house, I pointed out the box, and he was the one who broke the seal. When he opened it, after a mild expletive (well, maybe not so mild), he took out the splitter and I think used a union to connect the two wires. Unfortunately, if I try to solve a problem like that, I create one that is five times worse than the original.
