That is true...or that is the way it should be (power level at the tap,
not the triple charge).  If the signal level of the incoming primary
feed is so low that adding a second (or third) set reduced the level
that much that the picture quality suffered, then either the signal
level is not sufficent to begin with or the TV sets you have are
junk.  I suspect the cable level would the prime suspect unless
all the TV's were fairly old.
