Pi Splitter

Description

The pi splitter was developed to connect multiple TV and Hifi devices to a single TV outlet. Most standard splitters available in stores have only two TV or two radio connectors, which can be cumbersome sometimes. If you connect multiple splitters in a row it looks ugly and produces a loss of signal quality.
The original idea was to hook up a TV, a radio and a cable modem. Unfortunately the pi splitter was a complete failure in this respect because the cable modem didn't work with it. TVs and radios are no problem, though.
This mod is easy to reproduce. You need a metal case, some coaxial jacks and wire. The input needs a female connector (connect to a TV outlet) or a male (radio outlet). The following counts for the outputs: Male connectors for TVs and female for radios. Of course this rule is violated sometimes (with so called homo cables) otherwise it wouldn't be a ghetto mod.
