Why is my TV not working on my ethernet splitter but Xbox is? [closed]

I'm using a dlink ethernet splitter (gigabit), so I can link my Xbox, tv receiver and TV to the internet at the same time. Most of the time everything works fine. But sometimes the TV signal becomes very distorted and jams. How can I solve this?

    How is your TV physically connected to your "splitter". Can you post the model of your splitter?

    If you are literally using an Ethernet splitter, then you bought snake oil. They work in some cases, but in most they fail for odd reasons. You are better off just buying a real Ethernet hub/switch. Costs slightly more than a splitter, but should not cost more than $20 (US) and will definitely work.

  • I'm pretty sure it's a splitter. Can have a look when I'm at home which exact model it is. My TV is not connected to the splitter at the moment. But will be connected with an ethernet cable. It's a bit weird to me that I can play online with Xbox but not watch TV.

Mouse cursor on multiple screens with different PPI

Image
24 6 I'm using a 4K display along with a Full HD display with both almost the same physical size and it brings some mouse cursor problems to me working with it on the default Windows settings. As the mouse movement speed depends on the pixels, it's very slow on the 4K display and very fast on the Full HD display. Is there a windows setting or application to move the mouse depending on the visible distance and not the pixels? Another problem is the virtual wall between the screens I can't move the cursor from the upper half of the 4K screen to the Full HD screen: How is it possible to virtually stretch the cursor transition area of the Full HD screen to the one of the 4K monitor? The smallest problem, nevertheless painful, is the cursor size which varies between the screens. Is there a way ...
