The last time I added outlets (a few years back), the Rogers guy told me
there was one price for a single outlet, and another price for 2 or more
outlets. I think I have six connections right now, and that mostly means
connections to a VCR and then through to a TV .. so we could be recording
and watching as many as 12 channels simultaneously. I'm sure that the
average is less than 2.
