lol … I had a few family members with that mentality … you gave it a few gentle smacks to try to coax it to work and often it did work … but when it didn’t, they’d hit it harder, then harder, then harder until the screen just turned into horizontal or diagonal static which usually meant the thing was destroyed.
Comment on don't tell the cable company about the splitter
