No, it does not matter which side goes to what ,as both the same.

Re: Getting terrestial channels using a splitter
 

Another question on this:
When using coax, (either 50ohm or 75ohm) you should terminate the end of a splitter not in use. Does the same apply for unused cable ends?

Re: Getting terrestial channels using a splitter
 

Why would there be a lose Cable end?

Re: Getting terrestial channels using a splitter
 

It is to do with impedance matching. (The imaginary part ('j') of resistance).

(for techies, z=r+yj) where r is the resistance).

Unless you terminate a normal coax (like on a tv line or pre ethernet bnc type networks) you get losses as this sort of system always like to see either 50ohm or 75 ohm at any end. As long as it is plugged into something there is no problem.

If you leave it loose, then there is.

Re: Getting terrestial channels using a splitter
 

Can I split my incoming signal 4 ways? Or do you think this would be too lossy? I want to get the terrestial channels into 4 different rooms.
