Are you also a HSI customer?  What is your current
configuration from the demark in (what do you
need to feed (and to where))?

I think I have previously mentioned a number of
vendors of high quality splitters, and for simple
values some of those same vendors sell amps,
and would also be good vendors to choose from.

But an amp is a crutch for a less than ideal
signal from the "street", or a really lousy
residential cabling situation (can you say
150' of poor quality RG-59?).

I perhaps asked this question originally (and
forgot the answer) but if you place the Ceton
(or a Cable modem) at the demark, what are
the levels reported (yes, this can be a PITA
to do, so if it is not easy, just skip it, it is just
to feed a data point).
