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.
