Bino, I was running 3 televisions, cable modem, Cable PVR, 5 computer TV tuners and was having signal strength problems. My modem was losing its signal and some of the higher television stations had terrible quality. I had tried a cheap wal-mart/Philips signal amplifier (that actually made the reception worse). After lots of Googling, I found some information on the following item: ELECTROLINE EDA-FT08100 8 PORT CABLE TV AMPLIFER. It solved all my problems. I split the line coming into the house for front room and office. The office line is split for modem and all other inputs. The other inputs goes into the EDA-FT08100 amplifier to run my HDTV, PVR, and computer tuners. Signal strength is good for the tuners and modem. I got what I thought was a good deal at http://www.mjsales.net/. No connection other than a satisfied customer. Hope this help. Jim Maki [email protected]
