Well the reason I ask is that I had an engineer come out to fix the issues, and he cited this as the reason. He took the splitter off and the pixelation on the tv has gone.

However, I still have some issues on my home network. But it's probably more linked to the wiring in the house and the lottery of homeplugs than anything else.
