I got a Motorola BDA-100S1. It made a WORLD of difference. TV looked acceptable before, but it looks even better now. Both my PVR 350 (Which didn't look so bad) and my PVR 500 (Which looked horrible) looked MUCH better afterwards. You will want to plug this signal booster in before your splitter. You can pick them up on Ebay. Just search for "Motorola Signal Booster".
