The signal has been split a dozen times before it gets to you. Another split won't make a difference.

That was the case for me too in Montreal. Play it safe and call them to check.

You can get signal boosters (plugs into the wall). Our old house had one that Shaw put in there so the signal for the last TV wasn't fuzzy. You can just try it and if you notice problems call Shaw or find a booster.
