Understood. So, another thing the OP can do is remove that large splitter and install a smaller splitter with only the number of ports needed and then tiewrap the rest of the coax so it can be used in the future. Say for example, he only has two TVs needing cable then he can get a 2-way splitter from Amazon and he's done. Typically, what I normally see with people with cable is they don't have cable boxes anymore. They have cable internet with needs one coax cable from the panel to feed the modem and router and they stream Xfinity or whatever on their TVs using Roku or some other device.
BTW, I forgot to mention, that Hunter box with the antenna can also be removed. Looks like the OP has a Rachio irrigation controller and that Hunter Box was left over from his old system. It was a box to turn on zones remotely and not needed with the Rachio.
