Unless the STBs are spectacularly badly designed, what you connect the the RF output shouldn't be able to cause digital effects like blockiness and freezing pictures.

The noise i think he is refering to is noise put on to the catv signal on the return path, in simple terms the return path is your BB/interactive and if that has "interferance" (noise) it degrades the service, how ever it does take alot of noise to see a differance in your service. there is always ongoing maintance on the network for noise so if you are putting noise on the system thru diy splitters you may find a charge coming your way for an engineer to come around and fault find the area of the noise.
