Does using a split RF connector reduce the quality of the picture?

As today's RF signals for television are almost all digital, here is the answer for digital signals.
Whenever an RF signal is split using a passive splitter (one that does not have a power supply) the strength of the signal will be reduced. The signal strength is actually not important above a certain threshold. When a receiver has sufficient signal strength on the RF input, it will extract the digital data without error. A stronger signal does not make the picture quality any better.
The same applies if the signal gets weaker. The image does not deteriorate in any way at all unless the RF signal strength falls below the minimum level needed by the receiver. If that happens, the receiver will see data that has errors in it. The errors mean picture or sound corruption and very quickly, as the signal strength falls further, the image will just disappear completely.
As signal conditions vary from one area to another, and from one home to another, the quickest way to find out if a passive splitter will work. They are only a few dollars so you won't waste lots of money. If a passive splitter doesn't work, then a powered RF distribution amplifier may be the answer. If you are in any doubt, talk to a local aerial and satellite installation company. They will have good experience of your location and will be able to give far better advice than this very general answer.

Can you split a scart output into two outputs?
A scart connector is a 21 pin rectangular connector that carries video, audio and control links between video recorders, DVD player etc and televisions. They have been popular for many years in Europe but are now giving way to HDMI as the new digital video interface becomes the accepted standard. As with all analog video signals, the video signals carried by the connector are designed as a point to point signal. Splitting a video signal and connecting to two inputs will load the signal and reduce the voltage level of the signal at both inputs. At best, this will reduce the image quality and may cause the image to fail completely. Although it is unlikely to damage the source equipment, it is not recommended practice. The audio content on the other hand can be split and taken to two inputs without any noticeable change to the audio performance. The best way to split a signal on a scart connector is to take the video content through a video distribution amplifier. The amplifier will then drive each of the inputs correctly and retain the voltage levels required. Although many television stores will not stock VDAs, they can be found though most audio visual dealers either online or local stores.
How to use picture in picture feature on my 97 RCA tv model f25674gy?
All picture in picture and split screen options require a dual tuner set up. If you are running off a cable box or satellite you will need to split the cable and feed it into the separate tuner connections in the back of the set, then the pip will work. Make sure the split is before the cable box or you will just be able to see a smaller version of what is already on the screen.
Your hd flatscreen does not have HDMI input can you still plug a playstation3 in and get good image quality and how about the bluray image from same?
next down in quality from HDMI is DVI picture with digital audio (actually the same, just split into 2 streams)). next down in quality from HDMI is DVI picture with analog audio (stereo only) next down in quality is component video (3 wires) and digital (optical) audio next down in quality is SVHS picture with digital (optical) audio) then the same two above only with analog audio, stereo only. last is composite video and analog audo. with no HDMI input, choose the next best inputs from the above list.
