If that fixes the tv in your living room, then that's your problem, a crappy splitter (the tv in the kitchen might be the static riddeled one now too) I'm not sure If a signal booster would fix both tv's or not, I know it would if you used a cable service but, an antenna service, not sure, probably. Anyway, try what I told you to do and let me know how that works

OH, also try running the cable to the tv with the problem directly (with no splitter). The thing the splitter does, is exactly what its name implys, splits the signal. So if you are getting 10db of signal strength the splitter will split (just an example) 6db to one tv and 4db to another. Or something along those lines.
Thanks for that suggestion. I'll try it today and wait a few days and let you know if it worked. That's a lot easier than one thing I thought of, moving the tv from the kitchen to the living room and vice versa. The one in the kitchen is a 32" and quite HEAVY.
