RE: Question on cable signal loss vs splits

No not really..no need to bother with shorting the unused connections. If you've got good reception now..you should be fine. I would leave the other line and just unplug it , drop a new one where you wanted it. That way in the future,if you decide to move to another home. The original outlet can be reactivated for the new owner.

If this seems too much of a run, splice into the old outlet and use it.

Yeah you shouldn't have any problems with the internet as they split the signal before the main splitter. This is common, it helps insure your modem will get the best signal. So even if your picture quality doesn't look great..you'll still have great internet service. ;-)

Too bad you're not closer, I would just give you one of my unused 8 port powered amplifiers.
