Yes, it's a cheap splitter. I bought it at Home Depot along with the twist-on RG6 connectors. And guess what ... the whole system performs flawlessly. If I ever have QAM or MoCA problems, the splitter and fittings are easy enough to test and replace, but for now it's not worth messing with.

I implore you to not let any inspectors into your house, you could get the installer suspended. The ground block is mandated by the state Public Service Commission (PSC) not by Verizon and any deviations will get both Verizon and the technician in trouble (fines and suspension). The grounding block is there so that if your TV or set top box ever fail you wil not find 120 volts on you coax wire, as an installer I have seen this situation. As for the choice of ground location there are rules that need to be followed. Normally I would choose the conduit feeding your breaker panel but from the picture it appears that you panel is fed by a Romex type wire, conduits after the panel can not be used. I could also use an existing ground rod that is within 20' of the ONT and bonded to the electric but based on the fact you are in NY and your house does not appear to be new it is likely that one does not exist. If your water meter is within 20' I can also ground to that, I believe the water meter can only be used in New York. If none of the options I mentioned were viable then I would have to run a green ground wire (green because the wire is inside, if it was outside I could use grey) through a non-combustible sleeve in the wall of your house to the electric conduit outside.
