[mythtv-users] cable distribution amplifiers

[Joe Byrne]

I use an RCA 1->4 splitter/amp that I got at Home Despot.  I run cable from
an antenna (in attic where there's no power) through a splitter (in crawl
space where there's no power) and then through the amp.  The amp sits next
to my Myth box and TV.  It was worth the investment.  The output runs a bit
hot, though.  Colors are super saturated on some channels and I get sparkles
on others.  Nonetheless, I'm happy I have it.
